A Feast for the Senses

The fine folks over at The Diet Pulpit offered a link today to cupcakeblog.com. Bless their hearts!!!

I don't know about other dieters, but I L-O-V-E to watch the Food Network and look at food magazines more regularly than normal when I'm watching what I eat. I somehow feel like visually taking in the yummy, rich food will keep my brain satisfied and I won't have to actually ingest the food (HA! I typed "inject" the food). The cupcake blog may become a regular visit for me. "Food porn" I believe they call it, and it certainly does the trick for me...
