Diet Hard (and the sequel Diet Harder)

Starved Wars: Perogie Won

Don’t forget “The Creature From The Black Buffet.”

“The Traveling Pants” had to her been magical to fit those ladies because none of them was the same size as the other. “The Wrong Trousers” will make you laugh.

‘Lord of the Fries.’ Not actually holiday related, but delicious nonetheless.

Thanksgiving through Christmas wound up being about 7 pounds for me this year. I may take it up to 8 or 9 pounds on New Year’s Eve, because I’ll let myself eat fattening cheese and crackers with little sandwich wraps dipped in ranch dressing while I watch the ball drop. My resolution will be the same as always – take off all that extra weight. It will likely take at least until next Thanksgiving, when the cycle will repeat.

Just an FYI—

.

Many of the clothing makers have changed benchmarks and sizes so they can charge by the size. A “mens XL jacket” is about one and a half inches smaller than it was ten years ago, and men’s trousers are now measured by end to end of the fabric at the waist— not the way it used to be measured, with the pants buttoned to be worn.

This year’s jeans are smaller diameter legs than previously used, and the shrinking of size is in place for both genders— and hidden under the charts of “Euopean size, UK size, Chinese size, Japanese size, and American size” so you cannot really tell what is going on.
