Here in the household of she who bakes cakes, we're quite into the Olympics. Given our focus on pastry, we're particularly interested in what people are eating there. So far, the two biggest stories seem to be (i) Michael Phelps consumes about 12,500 calories per day, and still has trouble keeping on weight, and (ii) one of the belgian women's beach volleyball players is 6'4 and 195 pounds. My thoughts on story (i) - that's tremendous. It also reminded me that in college my friends and I used to order a large dominoes pizza each for dinner, but we didn't swim 30+ hours a week (or perform similarly caloric intensive work). Needless to say, none of us entered the workforce in fields which require tight clothes and/or shirtlessness. On story (ii), not much to say really, other than it seemed a bit ungentlemanly to mention those stats roughly every two minutes during the beach volleyball matches. Churlish, really.
That aside, I'd bet that Michael Phelps could eat about 4 dozen of the cupcakes that Lisa made for a friend's baby's birthday. They look like farm animals. I wish I could link this somehow to the Beijing olympics, but it seems a stretch. Anyway, here they are.
