In an effort to maintain her target weight, Honey has come up with what she calls the Calorie/Enjoyment Ratio. It isn't a formula written out on paper, but something she does in her head. Even if she likes something, but doesn't think she likes it well enough to justify the calories, she won't eat it. It has proved to be a highly effective approach.
The latest example is Blue Bell's Chocolate Almond Marshmallow Ice Cream. Honey's favorite flavor is Mocha Almond Fudge, but it is one of Blue Bell's seasonal flavors and not currently in stores. I bought some Chocolate Almond Marshmallow in hopes that it would provide a temporary substitute.
It did not.
She tried some the night I brought it home, and announced that it failed to pass the Calorie/Enjoyment test. This left almost a full carton of ice cream that she will not eat, and I don't particularly like. To avoid being wasteful, I guess I'll eat it.
Somebody has to.
