Post-Christmas diet

Ah, after two solid weeks of eating non-stop in the Philippines, we both added a bit of holiday pounds. So, where do we find ourselves on our first day in Melbourne? The Pancake Parlour! Together we ordered two short-stacks (two pancakes each), one with a scoop of butter and one with a scoop of ice cream, and a potato and cheese pancake. Karen then starts to debate whether we should get bacon bits on top of the potato and cheese pancake and then tells the waiter "oh, we'd better not - we're on a post-Christmas diet". Well, the waiter just stood there a bit dumbfounded and then walked away quietly, not knowing what to say. Let's re-iterate: we're at a place called The Pancake Parlour and have ordered 4 pancakes with butter and ice cream as well as a potato and cheese pancake and Karen is trying to decide if bacon bits fit in with our post-Christmas healthy diet! Hmmm.....
