There's always next year

This cold and blustery January day at Simpatico, we were greeted by fresh hot coffee and a thirty minute wait. The former making the latter entirely acceptable. Even my 2 year old and ten month old waited patiently, as if they new good things were coming. Every once in a while you eat a meal surrounded by friends and family, that just makes you feel like it's all going to be OK. This same meal may also make you wish you hadn't of resolved to not eat too much fried food. Lucky for me, the fried food(perfectly pan fried chicken in this case) was served with a biscuit and sausage gravy. It is a little known fact that sausage gravy has the peculiar effect of nullifying any caloric trespasses that fried foods may commit. It has something to do with quantum physics and string theory, so it is over the heads of most people reading this, therefore I will not try to explain it. Just trust me. Ok?
