I am at a restaurant having a cup of coffee while waiting for my butter and cream cheese to warm to room temperature. I am making Philadelphia cheese cake. My daughter’s eighteenth birthday is in a couple of days, so I am doing this for her now. I am also making chicken etouffee which is a very rich dish. Probabley 100 calories per teaspoon.

I do count calories. Now I also have to keep my calorie intake from the cheese cake to a manageable level. But I do not think this is possible considering what I am making for dinner. I also now just figured out that I have to add the calories from the sugar and cream for each cup of coffee. Calories, calories, calories, and more calories.
