The thing I like about college graduation parties is they usually contain lots of good food. After all, your child survived four years of college, and you survived four years of outrageous tuition payments, so why shouldn’t you celebrate with an eating orgy? ☺

Last weekend was Drew’s graduation party from Hofstra, and today is David’s graduation party from Princeton. I ate a lot of very good food last weekend, and I am anticipating doing the same today.

Ironically, before we left for Italy I wondered how much overeating we would do there, but Italians actually eat a lot more moderately and more sensibly than Americans do so, except for our nightly fixes of gelato, we did not overeat at all (ok, there was the wedding reception, but everybody overeats at weddings). Now that we have returned home, I am finding more occasions to overeat than while we were away.

Not that I’m complaining about eating, of course. After all, as my IM AWAY message states, Food = Life!!!
