Yesterday was basically the "perfect storm" for poor nutrition at Smoot Central. First we had the Steelers game, which was a nail biter, and therefore required a lot of snacks. Thankfully the Steelers pulled off a victory over the dreaded Ravens -- even if it involved a highly questionable touchdown -- and that resulted in celebratory snacking. Just an hour after the game was the 3-hour season finale of Survivor, which also required snacking.
We aren't normally super health conscious people in terms of eating carrots as snacks, etc., but yesterday was a pretty wild ride on the snack express. For the record, we did give Little Smoot an actual meal, in hopes that we wouldn't be carted directly to the Bad Parent Detention Center, but Mrs. Smoot and I enjoyed the following as our evening meal: jalepeno poppers, pretzels stuffed with cheese, potato skins, and egg rolls. Oh, and ice cream for dessert.
The end result is that our house now smells vaguely like a TGI Fridays, I'm feeling a little woozy, and we have dishes stacked up to the point where I have to use a chair to reach the ones at the top. It was worth it, though.
