We all know Farmer H has an affinity for sweets. The worst thing in the world for his health. Yet he continues to indulge, whether monitored or not.
For our BBQ on Monday, I picked up desserts at 10Box and Save A Lot. Not specifically for Farmer H, but for The Pony to have some to take home. I got cake donuts with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, mini vanilla cupcakes with chocolate or vanilla icing, and cookies made with M&Ms.
I bought the desserts on Sunday, and set them on the counter for Monday.
After Farmer H finished his supper on Sunday evening, he brought his plate to the kitchen. I asked if he was having dessert.
"Oh, yeah. What do I have, DONUTS?"
"NO! Get away from there! That's for the BBQ and The Pony! You can have your Little Debbie Fudge Rounds that are in the refrigerator."
Farmer H must be watched every moment, like a toddler. He KNEW we were having a BBQ, and that I don't buy him a selection of desserts and put them on the counter.

I bet it took an enormous amount of willpower for him to not sneak back and indulge.
River,
Farmer H can't stay up that long! I was sitting there, as good as a guard dog, until 11:00 or midnight, when I was done innernetting.
I am kind enough to hide the stuff, so he is not tempted. Not kind so much as lazy and not wanting to stand guard!!
Kathy,
Maybe I should use my old blog buddy Joeh's wife's tactic of hiding the treats under a towel on the kitchen counter!
