Fat season has started early, so I need to quickly detox this week. But it was a great time. I’m sitting here ready to leave San Francisco after overdoing it at Food buzz festival.

In fact when the Pilgrims came to Mexico, and the indians helped them survive they had a feast. That is how carnitas was invented. True Story. Carnitas for thanksgiving, what a great idea!

If I go to a restaurant and order a salad, my buddies will call me a girl; if I ordered vegetables, they would think I'm mentally retarded.

This is pretty much what I'm planning to do, and though I may not lose much weight over the holidays, I certainly won't gain. I think it helps that I don't like a lot of holiday food (cranberry sauce if it's too sweet, pie, stuffing, gravy, marshmallowed sweet potatoes, eggnog). Most of this stuff is too sweet, and I won't bother, unless it's chocolate. I will certainly be drinking much wine, but you only live once. Wow, this really sounds like great advice.
