Lady of the Rings
Certain popular websites for girls who happen to be hungry claim this recipe, but it’s been around forever. I got it from somebody who got it from somebody who got it from somebody else which is probably the same place THAT chick got her recipe from. She was just smart enough to market it.

Whaddya know! A two-fer! People often ask me how much I can eat. Mostly because I always say I have the “Wonder Pouch.” Not really though.

Ok, so shoot me, I don’t have a picture to show you. This is mainly because my digital camera is sitting in my electronics basket…uncharged….where it has been for the last month.
