Huggies! (No, not the diapers)

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on October 6, 2009

Blog-reader Jenny R. had a really fun idea:

She suggested that, for Hug-a-Carb Month, we should all take pictures of ourselves… hugging carbs!

Silly?  Yes.  But life’s way more fun when you’re being silly, don’t you think?  My grandma always used to say, “If they’re laughing at me, well then at least they’re laughing! :)

So, at the risk of being laughed at, I’ll post my picture.  Let’s not just stop at hugging carbs.  Get creative; the sillier the better!

.

Will you join me for a Carb-loving photoshoot?

And of course H-man loves carbs.

Ok, he just loves food, period.

 

 

Now the question is:

Are you brave enough to take part in the photoshoot?

If you don’t like grains, it doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.  After all, fruits and veggies are carbs too!

Post your own carb-love pics, and join in the silliness!! :) :)

 

 

After this, I promise to take a break from the carb-heavy posts…  for a while.

I don’t have any grain/pasta/bread photos on my computer but I found this one:

It was our entry to the Mickey 500 vegetable car race. And yes, lots of vegetables were eaten in the making of this car.

Wait, do we put the photos up on our own blogs or send them to you?

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie October 6, 2009 at 8:18 pm

anonymous,

I meant for you to put them up on your own blogs… but if you don’t have a blog and still want to join in, I guess you can send a photo to me.

Sorry for the confusion!! :-?
