Huggies! (No, not the diapers)

October 6, 2009
by Chocolate-Covered Katie

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.

  15. October 6, 2009 5:23 pm

    Your blog never fails to get more fun, and you never fail to get more beautiful! But I think your pup gets my vote for best pic of the post.

    Sorry Katie!

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

  26. October 6, 2009 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!! :-?

  27. October 6, 2009 8:19 pm

    Katie, you’re too cute. I think a carb-inspired post is in order on my blog, too! Thanks for some VeganMoFo inspiration. ;)

  28. October 6, 2009 9:02 pm

    This post is just adorable! I will have to take a pic with my daily bowl of oats :)
