There are some things you don't want to hear discussed at 8am in the morning, and 3 over-50's talking about their lack of sex education is one of them ... They've now moved onto how the UK is a "Nanny state and the laughing stock of the rest of the world". One of them read it in the Daily Mail, so it must be true ... Needless to say I've booted up iTunes, and Level 42 are telling me in their techno pop-crap way how they and various sons and daughters are in 'Hot Water' ...
Anyway, chocolate brownies.
The world's largest chocolate brownie, was a 3,000-pound slab of chocolate made from scratch by students in the Culinary Arts program at Putnam-Northern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services, and consisted of 750 pounds of chocolate chips, mixed with 500 pounds of butter, 850 pounds of sugar and 500 pounds of flour. Oh, and 3,500 eggs.
It took eight hours for the 51 students to assemble the 208 individually baked trays into one final product.
Compare that with the Weight Watchers brownie I had yesterday ...
Either that's the world's largest pen, or the world's smallest chocolate brownie ...
Only 23 calories declares the box. That's because there's nothing there! Woe betide anyone who disturbs me whilst I nibble, hamster like, at my 23 calorie, microscopic chocolate treat ... And we won't mention the Weight Watchers doritos I had last week, and how there were the grand total of 13 doritos in the packet ...
Still, the diet is carrying on ... I'm eating more fruit, and have discovered that Coke Zero and Pepsi Max don't actually taste that bad. Admittedly I'm hungry all the time, but come 8 weeks and 1 day when I'm waif-like by a pool in Cyprus, it'll all be worth it. That and the fact the hotel is all-inclusive, so all that weight I will have lost will be back come the end of that week ...
