I’m Too Fat For My Christmas Pants

Every year I drag out my Christmas pants, you know the kind that look like 70’s palazzo pants made of black crepe paper?  Well when I tried to squeeze my larger-than-last-year body into them the song, I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred came to mind but the lyrics had changed slightly to, “I’m too fat for my Christmas pants, too fat for my Christmas pants, they’re too tight for me!”

So my friends, I can no longer use my summer ankle injury as an excuse not to exercise (obviously my mouth wasn’t injured because I’ve been frantically feeding it)!  With my Tuesday posts I’ll be giving Progress Reports on my new “lifestyle changes” (God help my poor husband)!  I’m sure I’m not the only one whose hips have expanded this year so feel free to join me and add your comments to my posts.

But before I say farewell to fat, I’m including another fast, easy recipe for your Christmas baking repertoire to slap onto each hip before the year ends.  It’s my Super Smooth Bailey’s Fudge.  Indulge!  Fat pants rule!

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for reading MySaggyButt.  I’ll leave you with a little ‘food for thought’ (no calories) from Charles Dickens, “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”  See you the first Tuesday in January!

Super Smooth Bailey’s Fudge
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla
¼ cup Bailey’s Irish Cream

Grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan with butter.  Melt the sweet and condensed milk, chocolate chips, vanilla and Bailey’s in a pot over low heat stirring constantly until smooth.  Remove from the heat and spread in the pan.  Refrigerate a couple of hours.  Enjoy!
