Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
When I was
reading Nicole's post about the unhealthiest
recipe (Snickers pie with puff pastry, a couple handfuls of Snickers Bars, mascarpone cheese) I started thinking,
first, my husband would love this! and secondly, oh, what am I thinking? That would surely be a
simultaneously loving, yet destructive Valentine's gift. It's the very spirit of the phrase, "the kiss of
death."
I realized that so many of the foods that seem perfect for Valentine's dinner consumption are terrible for the ticker. Flourless chocolate cake. Steak tenderloin with red wine jus. Lobster, shrimp, oysters, floating in butter. Endless boxes of chocolate truffles. Martinis and champagne and chardonnay, oh my.
Is our nation so self-destructive that we would simultaneously celebrate our love and lessen its longevity by creating meals seemingly designed to chip away at our lover's heart? Or I am just reading way too much into this?
