Being home from vacation isn’t that bad.
It’s nice not to be lubed up with sunscreen and covered in a layer of sand.
Instead I’ve traded that for a lovely layer of peeling skin. Especially on my scalp. It looks really hot.
Mr. How Sweet bought filet and sweet potatoes to make me dinner last night… then we fell asleep at 7pm.
So we’re eating the filet tonight. Or tomorrow.
Mainly because I just ruined my appetite with a gooey one of these.
I like being back in the kitchen.
I made something today so delicious that I can’t stop eating it. Soon enough I will need to be removed from this house by crane.
I have a realllllly sore throat. But you are all super smart and gave me suggestions of what to do on Facebook.
The only suggestion I will probably listen to is to have a milkshake. It’s national vanilla milkshake day!
Is there anything better than sleeping in your own bed? I think not.
Even when you sleep next to a jet engine snorer.
Today is the first day in 6 days I didn’t have an ice cream cone with sprinkles.
Maybe that’s why my throat hurts.
Yep. That’s definitely it.
Must.get.ice.cream.
Bye!
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
The sprinkles ice cream has got to be the reason for the throat issue. Problem solved!

Whiskey helps with sore throats too. And a Bailey’s milkshake is close enough to vanilla in my book.

Welcome back! I thought I was the only one whose scalp burned and peeled. Isn’t it awful? So embarassing!
Also, I have that same napkin. Hooray for Pier 1!
Feel better!

Now I am craving cookies! I think I will make a batch and eat those with a vanilla milkshake for dinner! I love celebrating food holidays! LOL!
Glad you had fun on your trip!

I always loathe coming back from vacation – I never want it to end. I think drinking milkshakes would probably easy my transition. :-) Glad you’re back!

Feel better!!!!!!
I am just getting over a 10+ day cold that started out with the most horrific sore throat ever. And I got it just shortly after we came home from Aruba. I swear, it’s the post-travel sickness curse!
Take care of yourself with extra milkshakes and cookies :)

Hope you feel better soon! That cookie should make it all better!

Sprinkles are magic. You should go get some softserve with sprinkles ASAP!

Ha, you better get some ice cream!!

Feel better soon! Maybe it was too much air conditioner. My hubby just got back from a trip and he also isn’t feeling so hot. We must be on the same page, cause my blog post has the same title as yours, and I had made a whole load of walnut choc chip cookies and yep, stuffed my face :)
So glad, I found your blog!

Ice cream cures everything. :-)

Frozen yogurt always helps too. I had some when I got my wisdom teeth out and it eased the pain better than heavy doses of oxycodeine :)
Reply
Hope you feel better soon! I definitely think ice cream, cookies and milkshakes are the way forward! :)

Welcome home, Jessica! Thanks for making me laugh this morning!
Ice cream is the perfect cure for a sore throat, and it will remind you of vacation! :-)

Vacations are wonderful but it’s always nice to be home. I find I miss my kitchen and cooking more than anything else when I’m away. Welcome home!

although my husband is skeptical, the only thing that makes me feel better when i’m sick is ice cream. for real. it’s the greatest medicine ever!

Welcome back. One good thing for us about you returning from vacation is that we no longer have to look at pictures of gorgeous sunsets, ice cream cones, and you being all relaxed and hating our work-filled days :) Envy, you are cruel.

I can see why you might have ruined your appetite with these cookies–worth it! I woke up with an awful sore throat this morning, so I’m right there with ya. Feel better!!
