More food photos.
We had our office holiday party yesterday and I found myself once again hulking over the shrimp. And dip. Dip is something I never allow myself to eat in real life* (obviously at parties I am in my fake life) but will eat gobs of if no one stops me.
I am like this with eazy-cheeze too, (sp?) that cheese-colored viscous fluid in a whipped-cream-style can. Last time I ate it may have been high school but wow. It makes every salt & fat screaming neuron of mine fire on sight.
To stop myself from overeating, I ran around taking pictures of the food:
Veggie tray (with "palette knife" Photoshop filter applied)I just learned veggie trays are also called "crudites" (and not pronounced "crude" "ites" as in rhyming with "mites" but the more elegant French "croo deh tahys"). I am very high class now. (Having rejected all attempts at socialization with the elaborate knives and utensils associated with sophisticated place settings, it makes perfect sense that I, a full-grown woman, am only now learning how to eat in public. If you are six and happen to be reading this, pay attention to your parents. Especially in boring fancy restaurants. You will be glad many decades later.)
pumpkin loaf (palette knife filter also applied)(hey, I was having fun)
Gum drops. What good is a holiday party if it doesn't give you cavities?
Fruit! (Palette knife filter applied)
Deviled eggs.What are your food weaknesses? Do your knees get weak at the sight of certain dishes or treats?

Well, I thought I had replied to this but I think I mistakenly posted my response on the wrong blog - oops! I can feel my face turning red :-/
Anyway, here's my response to YOUR post: I work in the food industry. And I'm on a diet. AND our annual Holiday Party is tomorrow. You brought up an interesting idea about taking photographs of the food to avoid over-eating at a party. I will give that a try tomorrow! As a web designer, I can always say I am taking work-related photographs to document the party on our company Intranet ;o)

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I went to respond to your comment and almost did so on the wrong blog! This site automatically seems to redirect people when you login instead of refreshing the page you were on.
I'm glad you enjoyed my post and hope you have a great holiday party tomorrow!
