Hamily uses entire jar of maple syrup for breakfast Visiting my hamily that just can't understand why they're gaining so much weight.  They make waffles using TWO sticks of butter in the recipe. We're out of milk, so they sub in HALF AND HALF. Then they fry up a pound of bacon. And we just have to save the bacon grease for all the frying we're going to do later (aren't waffles drenched in butter enough??) At the table, I have a human size portion of waffle, a couple tablespoons of maple syrup. No butter on top since there is already so much butter in the recipe. Hamily goes through an entire 10oz bottle of maple syrup. Entire stick of butter on top of the waffles. Entire plate of bacon. Also a ton of (admittedly delicious) pecans on top of the waffles. My small portion clocked in at almost 900 calories. This was less than a third of what they ate. And we get to have steaks with "all the fixins'" for dinner tonight. And banana pudding. Oh, and we just have to make these super buttery brioche waffles for tomorrow's breakfast too. I went for a run. They're snacking on chocolate. I literally pried chocolate out of my mom's hands in the middle of the night so she wouldn't eat it. Watching them commit suicide by food.
