low-carb breakfast 10/31/09

because i'm disadvantaged, i don't get to be in america during halloween. this means that i miss a whole lot of tacky decorations and battery-powered toys that emit a cheesy, tinny cackle when i walk by. i'll also miss watching america use enough dry ice to reseal the northwest passage. but what i'm really bummed about missing is the nighttime diabetic coma that follows after eating three pounds of candy bars, one ounce at a time.

since i won't wake up tomorrow in a halo of mini-butterfinger wrappers, i thought i should do my best to eat as much high-glycemic index stuff as possible in moroccan terms, thus my brilliant breakfast. you'll notice the croissant and the chocolate croissant and from there you'll find what's best described as tiny moroccan pancakes, toast and my favorite, a fried, flaky square bread that's the lovechild of a tortilla and a croissant. i covered these in butter and jam and washed it all down with coffee. i made sure to use only a half cube of sugar in my coffee, since my teeth were already about to leap from my mouth.

i'm actually trying to set a record for most weight gained while visiting a developing nation and if i may be so brazen as to say so, i think i'm doing a fine job.
