Salty Sweet

I've been stressed out lately. Are we moving? If so, where? If not, how will I change the house? Will we remodel? When will the nice weather come? When will the snow stop? When will the baby start walking? Will the dog ever stop shedding? Why does laundry build up so quickly? Are we getting a new car? How long until the ice on the driveway melts? Will we hire movers if we move? How will we get all this heavy furniture down the stairs if we don't hire someone? Maybe we won't even need movers if we don't move...

And the cycle continues.

Me + stress = food. I want to feed the world when I get stressed out.

So needless to say, the family has eaten well this week.

Last night though, we went out to dinner. I ordered a much needed house margarita and asked for the ever-so-loved heavily salted glass rim. It's usually a request that's never filled, but last night our waitress did a beaitful job of salting that rim so thickly that it was even overboard for my own saltoholic tastebuds.

I left the restaurant tequila happy with a tongue on fire.

But that has left me craving sweets today. What better combo than sweet to follow salt!...

So today I made a double crunch pie....chocolate creme filling, chocolate creme cookies crumbled with peanutbutter chips and chocolate chips sprinkled on top, all in a chocolate cookie crust.

I've eaten too many cookies and licked the bowl clean of the left over chocolate creme.

And...now...I...feel...sick.

I wish I was one of those people that just wanted to exercise nonstop when stress became abundant.
