I am still only semi-recovered from all the food we consumed over the weekend. We had guests staying with us last week which tends to provoke a lot of eating out to start with, and we capped the over-indulgence with a big cookout on Saturday. You hear advertisements all spring about getting back into beach shape, I guess we simply did the converse, and kicked off the fall with an effort at getting back into couch shape.
