Mardi Gras Workaround!

Health BONUS for today:

If you work in an office, chances are you'll find one (or more) half-eaten King's Cakes celebrating the coming of Mardi Gras next Tuesday.  King's Cake is code for sweet roll with oooey gooey wildly colored sugary icing with a plastic baby hidden.  It comes around only once a year, it's true, so by definition passes my "I don't often get a chance to eat this" food.  But once I remember that it's a mere sweet bread that is available daily at Kroger, the feeling passes.

So to catch yourself from falling into the trap, take an orange to work.

Why a messy orange, you ask?

Because, first of all, they're DELICIOUS.  They're packed with vitamin C to ward off the crud that is going around. They smell DIVINE.  They take a while to peel, so you build up some anticipation for that first bite.  They drip and make you giggle.  Then, they leave a delightful aftertaste in your mouth that not much tastes good after except WATER.

BONUS!

Laissez les bon temps roulez!
