Away from Me, Doctor

Prof. Molten is one of the most wonderful professors I have ever had.  Considering how many professors I've had and how much I talk about them, this means a lot.  In addition to being kind and sharp, she is also a scone lover and tea snob.  Naturally, I had to recommend the biscuit stand at the farmer's market.  She tried it out last week and loved it.

Moi: I keep thinking though, I can't have biscuits every week.  At some point, I have to stop.

Prof. Molten: Why can't you have biscuits every week?

Moi: It's a bit excessive, no?  And probably not good for my health?

Prof. Molten: I don't think so.

Moi: Really?  If you say it's OK.  You're a public health authority (she really is).

Prof. Molten: You can have one a week.  And you walk to and from the market, right?

Moi: Yes.  Those 7 minutes of walking burns everything off.  I am so eating biscuits now.

With Molten's blessings, I went back to the biscuit stand this morning. I also may have had biscuits with brunch yesterday.  But it was in a restaurant and served on a plate, so that doesn't count.  Today's offering was a jerk steak biscuit sandwich.  I health-ified it my adding my own mixed greens.  It was a total public health overkill.
