On the menu: Cream cheese frosting and creamy peanut butter…
…slathered on a piece of bread…
…folded over and inserted into pie hole like a hot dog.
When you burn as many calories a day as a fulltime fence builder, you can eat like this and not die (not right away, anyway).
Related side note: As a member of the army reserves, Jake is required to attend one drill weekend per month and do things like take PT (physical training) tests. This weekend, Jake ran 2 miles in 12:37, crossing the finish line first out of 100 guys, many of whom were much younger than he is. Jake never runs. He never so much as jogs. Yet he can run 2 miles in 12:37.
Life is so not fair.

Seriously. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was prying myself off the couch last night to work out before dinner and could not get my husband to go for a run with me. Yet he climbs mountains and rescues people like it’s no problem.
Jake has some good genes, maybe. I want to eat like that, too. maybe not exactly like that, but a big fat hamburger does call to me.
maybe if Jake and I were 1st cousins instead of 2nd cousins, I would have inherited those genes. I literally had to put down my Ben and Jerry’s to type this comment. ugggggg!
ha ha ha ha!
Oh my, you would do this! Is what I said to my husband, sitting across from me, at his computer. My husband loves to mix peanut butter & jelly in a bowl, and he loves his cream cheese frosting too! I think our husbands are related, or this is something they both picked up in the military.
It must be a military thing!
That’s what I tell my kids: Life isn’t fair.
It’s a hard lesson to learn – and we’re still smarting over it, married with kids.
Yeah, my full-time carpenter can wear 60+ lbs of firefighter gear while climbing a ladder with a fully pressurized hose. Can also out-run me without trying (probably not in his gear, but still) He doesn’t spend a single minute at the gym. Ever. So it goes….
I’ll have to try that concoction. Looks pretty tasty. Jake knows how to live!
