I’ve never liked sugar as a topping, not even confectioners’ sugar. But I do like candy, especially jimmies! Out here in Los Angeles they call them sprinkles.

I like them especially on ice cream, but on a sugar cookie or other interesting place they’re also good. I prefer all chocolate.

Here‘s a whole forum on jimmies, in Boston, and Boston does know its ice cream. (favorite flavor in Boston? Coffee.)

Yes, we have free choice, but there are consequences. Eating the good things in life is a blessing, but one also wants to fit in nice clothes!

I’ve only read a few food blogs. (Same with cartoons: I don’t like to read other peoples’ cartoons about a topic until I know what I’m going to do – I don’t like to be influenced!)

But one thing they never mention is weight gain. Come on. Eat a lot, (especially sweets or chocolate, and that’s what I’m talking), gain weight.

Well, even when you get fat, there’s still hope. My own philosophy is eat, but then don’t feel guilty, exercise. In moderation, of course.
