I just got off my second cycle of P90X on Sunday and in the last 4 days my psycho roommate has done everything in her power to make me fat again. See, the thing is she is an incredible baker, but she knows not to make anything for me because I worry about my weight. So, she cooks for her friends at work. I’m talking cakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies. Confections of every sort. The other day she made these two GIANT APPLE STRUDELS. Now, if she feels anything she bakes might not taste up to snuff (and this without actually tasting it) or even if she feels it doesn’t look as aesthetically pleasing as she desires then she will not bring it to work with her for fear that her colleagues will think less of her. Meanwhile these are people that she comes home from work every day and tells me how much she hates! So, of course this apple strudel, like everything else she bakes, is disgusting and can’t possibly go with her to work since the people there will do nothing but laugh at her culinary crap and never let her live it down. So, basically, either I have to eat it all (since she won’t touch it) or she will throw it all away. I was taught since I was very young not to waste food (there are kids starving in China… And Africa… And India… And everywhere dammit!). But, this ingrained dogma aside, the strudel like everything else she makes is fucking delectable! Not to mention the fact that I’ve been depriving myself of good eats for many months now and couldn’t resist it even if I wanted to. In the last four days I’ve probably gained back every ounce I’ve lost!
Ah well, I suppose there will be a third cycle of P90X in my future cause I don’t think she’s gonna stop baking…
