"Pancake Stackers" will be a limited-time offering through June 20, and consist of: a layer of cheesecake sandwiched between two pancakes, available in strawberry, blueberry, or cinnamon apple, all topped with whipped cream. They will be available a la carte or as part of a combo meal, with eggs, hash browns, plus bacon, porks sausage links, or ham, which will tally up to 1,250 calories

Now, I have two sins that outweigh the others: vanity and gluttony. Not always copacetic, but whatever. Gluttony usually outweighs the vanity most days. But why in the ever living hell would you need to consume an entire days worth of calories in one sitting? I am actually quite surprised at the amount of disgusted I am at that.

That's who I was looking at! I'm thinking about doing just a single share and seeing if that is more reasonable. My drop off is pretty close to my house, which would be nice.

I'd be interested in talking about splitting, but I suspect it would logistically difficult. But I'm glad to hear that you were pleased by their talk. I really want to do the fruit share. I'll make myself eat the vegetables (sorry Brenda) but the fruit I would enjoy easily, I think.

Because it tastes good? Bear in mind, I usually don't consume a day's worth of calories in a day, but that seems motivation enough, if you can fit it in your tummy.

Which I CANNOT imagine. My appetite tops out somewhere around the bit with the cheesecake.

Our local pick-your-own strawberry farm is open, and I want to go this weekend, which happens to include May Day, which at my undergraduate college was celebrated with great fanfare (and strawberries and cream and champagne for breakfast!)

And 1200 is only a diet day's worth of calories!

Check out this employment letter: [link]

Basically, it says, "If we hadn't already fired you, we would have fired you for this other thing that was in the revised employee handbook that you should have known about."

eta: The person's response is kinda' funny....

For real. I was actually surprised to hear that the Double Down had less than 600 calories considering it is DISCUSSED LIKE PEOPLE WILL START USING TROUGHS as a next step.

Isn't like a Starbucks whippy frothy large drink close to 1000 calories? Or something? I dunno, if you like pancakes and cheesecake, why not? Who cares?

We're starting to get local strawberries in at the farmers' market. I'm looking forward to pick your own places opening, too, as I'm thinking of making jam this year.

Stephanie - we are doing a single share also. It is supposed to be enough for 1, maybe 2 people. They will let you upgrade during the season but not downgrade, so start small.

I wish I ate enough mushrooms to get a mushroom share, but even 1/2 a pound a week is a bunch.

The description of a "pancake stacker" makes my stomach clench. I can't imagine taking more than one small bite. They might as well start serving deep fried twinkies and deep fried Snickers bars on a regular basis.

Also: the Double Down is basically chicken cordon blue anyway!!

Don't get me started.
