Fish & Chips anyone?

Had some fish and chips today while taking Dex for a walk. They were pretty good but too greasy for me... I don't eat very much fried food so I barely touched my fries after devouring the fish itself.
Need to get my lazy bum off the couch and into some cute clothes so I have something else to show instead of food! I never intended this blog to become a food blog but it looks like my stomach is overruling my fingers at the time being!

Because only Mom's cook dinner...


Thanks to the awesome blog Sociological Images for initially posting this sexist ad.
