Skipping Dessert … and taking the stairs

As I mentioned, yesterday was my birthday. We celebrated by going to an Oktoberfest party at church (yeah, beer and wine at church – we’re Episcopalians), where there were tasty German sausages, sauerkraut, sauerbraten, etc. Which I ate with gusto, you’ll be happy to know. I did not eat the cupcakes, although approximately 794 people tried hard to get me to.

I want to tell you again, because many of you don’t seem to have understood (despite the title of the blog), YES I eat stuff like bratwurst. What I don’t eat is heavily sugared, overprocessed desserts. Two days ago I posted a summary of my general eating habits … and what I ate last night doesn’t stray from them.

As I told a friend of the blog last night, “The blog is called Skipping Dessert – not Skipping Meat.”

All that said, in about an hour I’m going to eat a slice of generally organic, healthy apple cake my lovely wife has baked for my birthday.

Back to regular bloggy duties tomorrow.

Thanks for reading, as always. Now go eat some sauerkraut.
