Day 6

Our brave men and women are remembered today with picnics, parades and celebration - and we are all proud to be American today. I'm glad we don't celebrate this day with chocolate soldiers.

We had a family outing yesterday to one of the last Drive In movie theaters left in the country. Not exactly the opportunity for healthy eating. I admit I caved to one of my favorite non-chocolate treats...the all-American funnel cake. Yummm. Seems to me that almost every culture has some variety of fried dough covered in sugar...zeppoli, donuts, biegnets, fritters, churros etc. When we lived in Maine, there was no disguising it behind some fancy name, they just call it fried dough....simple and sweet.

Anyway - happy Memorial Day. Honor those who served so that we can be free to eat fried dough, whatever you call it.
