Dear Dennis,
I just got home, at 2 AM, slinking into my building with a KFC Dinner Box dangling at my side, feeling like a drug dealer, and lo and behold, I opened your blog. Well, well. A fellow 'junkie'. I had actually stopped at the Colonel's for a Snack Box ("no fries, please") and coleslaw slaw, and was overcome by temptation. Throwing caution to the wind, I went 'all the way'. And when I got home, I even reached past the diet drinks, and grabbed a non-diet Pepsi from the back of the fridge!! Now, that's serious. Barely 15 minutes later, I sit here smugly, picking at the bones and eyeing that awful bun, wondering if I've got enough non-diet Pepsi left to wash it down.
What can I do?

Dear C A ,I guess your dilemma involves whether you have enough non-diet Pepsi in the house.
If you're really up that proverbial creek, just pop open a diet, pour, and stir in seven heaping tablespoons from the sugar bowl. (Note: Sweet & Low is NOT an option.) Be warned that it will not taste exactly as expected.. but until you hide a case of sugar-ful, fully-caffeined, way-God-had intended-it-to-be, classic Pepsi in the back of the frig... then this is merely a temporary solution.
Yours sweetly,
Dennis, spokesperson for THWAT (To Hell With Atkins Too)
