anotheranon | Independence Day: High Fat Theater

D. and I plotted this all week :)

Yesterday we trashed - completely - any semblance of healthy eating in favor of good all-American junk food favorites:

Hot dogs, with all manner of condiments as we came up with on our own and with a little help from LJ/FB suggestions. Truth told, I only want onions with mine (Vidalia, minced, please), but I got the works for D. Even sauerkraut, which I hate but that he loves :)
Mac and cheese. Not the carefully melted and blended 4-cheese-in-the-oven variety, but the cheap, nasty boil-on-the-stove, sauce from a packet kind. I am almost embarrassed how much I was craving this - it was a gooey Velveeta-y (yes, we went there) nostalgic trip of the tongue!
Cole slaw - possibly the only green thing on my plate. I love good slaw.
Potato salad (old fashioned). Not the highlight IMHO but absolutely necessary for a good old American 4th.
Apple pie - frozen, not homemade (this is junk food, remember?) A la carte with ice cream for D.; with chocolate frozen yogurt on the side for me (because even in my worst indulgences I CANNOT eat ice cream)
Beer - Yeungling (no idea whether this is a good beer or not, but we like it). We don't drink it often, but it was the obvious beverage of choice with the above (except maybe the dessert).

Happy Independence days (on the 1st and 4th, belatedly here and up north)...
