ALWAYS time for the tots.

Well, I ran out of spinach. A thorough glance at the fridge revealed nothing that looked healthy. Same deal in the freezer. But I did have a few tater tots left. Hmmm. Now you KNOW I'm not passin' those up.

So I dump the rest of the bag into a frying pan (no time for oven baking) and throw away the bag. And then I look at the tots covering the bottom of the pan and I wonder, "How much is too much in tater-tot-for-lunch-land?" Realizing the answer is in my trash can, I retrieve the bag. Twelve tots have 170 calories. So now I'm counting tots. Twelve. Twenty-four. Oops -- like 32 tots. So+ 32 tots is like 510 calories. Plus the BBQ sauce I NEED to make them even tastier, so that's almost 600 calories. I was going for more like 250-300 for lunch. Dang. The tots look GOOD.

But I am strong. I am invincible. I am WO---MA---A---A---N.

So I ate like 20. With BBQ sauce. So sue me. My diet has tots. And you know I'm eating the remaining 12 this afternoon. Probably without reheating. But with sauce.

Note to self: buy more spinach.
