I know that yesterday I claimed to be a top-notch procrastinator, but today I’m working against the grain. (Although to be truthful, most of the things on that list still aren’t done.) I’ve put together two of my side dishes for tomorrow so far this morning, and I’ve managed to do it without taking a single nibble. For me, this is a major accomplishment. I owe my success to one thing: Chewing gum. Yummy creamy cheese and syrupy sweet potatoes just don’t taste right with a side of spearmint. I’m hoping it also keeps me away from the pumpkin pie that I’ll be making when the kids take their nap.
