We
just came home to Bordeaux after spending a month in the States. This was my first trip back since moving last September. I hadn't thought I'd been
missing much in the way of food except a good steak. The beef in France leaves something to be desired, and a couple of steaks was the only thing I planned to
eat. But being constantly confronted by things we couldn't find here, well,
something came over me. By the time we left I was having a hard time putting my
pants on and when I worked up the nerve to stand on a scale on Friday, I'd
gained 15 pounds. I haven't weighed this much in a long time and what
surprised me was not how much I'd gained but how easy it was. So if you've ever
wanted to gain a lot of weight in a hurry, with little effort, here's how I did it (your results might vary).
