ABC Wednesday Challenge -- C




It's ABC Wednesday again, and this week, the letter is C.

This caused me considerable consternation.

Contemporary cuisine?

I could concoct some curried chicken and chive canneloni.

A crock of canteloupe consomme?

Chorizo and cheddar chimichangas, with cilantro.

But, being conscious of the cost of such complicated creations, I cancelled those concepts.

I could have covered current climatic conditions, (cold),



or the clean clothes I carried to the closet, (cumbersome, commonplace chores).

But upon closer consideration, I concluded that a cleverly constructed composition could be a cannier choice.


Let me see.... What begins with C?

CRAVING!


C is for
Cheetos and Cold Coca-Cola and
Cheesecake with cherries & cookie crumb crust







Chocolatey, creamy filled, coconut cupcakes
And cute cup of chai topped with cinnamon dust.





C is for Calories, calmly consumed
Composing this catchy campaign












And community center where cardio classes could
help me to counter the gain.






Please take some time to check out what others were inspired to blog about this week, at ABC Wednesday, and feel free to add your own blog to the list as we work our way through the alphabet.


I Refuse to Recede was brought to you today by the letter
"C"

  2. Oh, thanks husband of mine!
    You made a cheesecake tonight,
    not a good time!
    Tomorrow I have a doctor to see
    Who is gonna be mad at me.
    When I step on the scale
    I know I will go pale
    I'll look at the numbers and think "why Me?"
    All because you wanted something that starts with "C"!

    (sorry, that was the best I could come up with since you and the princess wouldn't stop playing the hokey pokey!)

  3. Wow, isn't it amazing you can come up with almost every c-dish that I don't like! Apart from the chai, but that might have more to do with the fact that I don't know what it is. ;)
    Great post though.

  8. I love your stance on boycotting the recession. It makes so much sense. And i was really putting a lot of thought into that until you distracted me with all kinds of food. I actually only "fell" for one item, but now I really want it. Where do I have to go to get those coconut cupcakes with the creamy chocolate filling? Sigh.

    First you're taunting me with all those delightful calorie-filled treats, then reminding me about the treadmill upstairs in the spare room!

    LOL!
