Everyday Systems

What do you look forward to most on S Days? Snacks? A special dessert? Something else?

Usually it's ice cream

Usually not planned, just whatever presents itself. But what I really like is chocolate, the darker the better. Or a death-by-chocolate cake. Or a chocolate chip cookie. Oh (sigh) you get the idea.

My favorite thing isn't a specific food; it's the lack of structure. I like knowing I can eat whatever whenever, and if that means nibbling on chocolate-covered almonds for lunch, so be it. I think allowing myself this release makes it possible for me to actually enjoy the structure of N days.

Generally it's some kind of baked treat -- but nothing really fancy. I'm not a fan of the "death by chocolate" sorts of things. If I don't bake something on Friday for the weekend, I might purchase something at the farmer's market on Saturday morning. Sometimes there's no plan at all -- and sometimes that means that Sunday night I realize that I've not had sweets, snacks or seconds!

Wow! I don't think I'll ever get to that point...

Usually a late afternoon Sunday outing to Dairy Queen for ice cream.
My husband has treated me to ice cream almost every Sunday for 38 years...I doubt he's missed many! (Until these last five weeks that I've been housebound, that is!)
I made my first trip to Dairy Queen, since the accident, yesterday afternoon (crutches and all) where I enjoyed a small pumpkin pie Blizzard - my absolute favorite! Fall is definitely here now!

What a sweet tradition, Mimi! Glad you were able to go again.

Anything homemade! Especially pound cake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, cookies. No boxed cakes though. Ew.

That's my favorite too! I even made a fan photo:
