Lilly : These dark mornings, I plan to get myself back in shape ready for Christmas, Ronnie . .
Ronnie : Really ? I'm working on a special diet, myself.
Lilly : Is that all the shortbread you are eating or all that is left ? No, please don't tell me.

kitty from Seoul, South Korea
Excellent - so well put together. If it was me that would be the shortbread that was left ^^

@kitty: Crumbly smile . . (Ronnie)
CElliottUK from Reading, United Kingdom
Yeah, working out always makes me hungry. I find that a full on Chicken Vindaloo with 8 pints of Cobra normally re-dresses the balance after 30 mins in the gym! Tell Lily that after my bathroom scales stopped working I haven't put on any weight, perhaps she could try taking the batteries out...

@CElliottUK: Some good advice there, Chris . . ha ha . . (Ronnie)
MissT from Chicagoland, United States
Oh, Lilly, I'm sure that's all he's eating. He's just starting to "pace" himself as the holiday season draws near - isn't that right, Ronnie?
2 Dec 2010 6:19am
@MissT: Definitely so, MissT . . glad someone understands my perfect intentions ! (Ronnie)
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Great composition, detail and color. I think that this is all what is left :))

marci from somewhere in..., Morocco
of course that is all that is left - Ronnie shared it with friends, to be sure! Isn't there a prayer, "If you can't make me skinny, make all of my friends fat"?

yes, it's lunchtime, i should go to the kitchen (or should i go on a diet, too?)

Christine from Duns, United Kingdom
That's my kind of diet, we need the extra energy in this weather....or at least that's my excuse!

Laurent from not far from Lyon, France
Shortbread: the best thing ever in the English gastronomy!!! I’m really fond of it!
For the rest you both summarize my own “back in shape” best intention: some sport constraints and then some shortbread reward.

Daniel from Kenmare, United States
is that a Walker's Shortbread? That's the kind sold over here in big tins. I think it's from Scotland tho'. Good luck, Lilly.
2 Dec 2010 1:16pm
@Daniel: Not Walker's but made in Scotland from all-Scottish ingredients it says on the empty box . . (Ronnie)
Stephen from Canberra, Australia
Ronnie needs a high energy diet this time of year! I’m sure he didn’t eat all the shortbread. He’d save some to put on a plate for Santa.

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Ah yes the high fat diet, always a good way to butter people up. In fact it takes the biscuit.

Barbara from Florida, United States
My theory, nibble a little slower and run a little faster. It all works out in the end.
Just save a piece for Lilly.
Good reminder for us with a sweet tooth this season.

¨‘°ºO Dutçh Oº°‘¨ from Neverwhere, United States
You guys never cease to amaze me or make me laugh! Sometimes I am that person on the left, Lilly.. and other times I am that person on the right, Ronnie. To work out, or to snack, that is the question. :D

Adela Fonts from Barcelona, Spain
Funny and clever as always Ronnie! I should also prepare a diet before Christmas! Explain to me?! Best regards, Adela

Veronique from Sarrouilles, France
I also allready started my diet by eating the guests After Eight box
2 Dec 2010 7:28pm
@Veronique: Ah . . After Eight . . that sudden realization that all those little envelopes are mysteriously empty ! (Ronnie)
Phil Morris from Saskatoon,, Canada
All the residue of another failed diet. Brilliant use of a diet
theme. Wonderful composition and photo.

Wahahaha, left or eaten it's far better than a glass of lukewarm water and half a grapefruit....:-0

Christel from Köln, Germany
Good evening Ronnie,
The composition is interesting. It seems as if you ate the cake alone and not shared with Lilly. Well, the Christmas cake season starts and Lilly will bake a new cake that you should both enjoy together. Maybe I can find a good recipe for you and Lilly. It would be nice if you bake a cake for Lilly. I think that Lilly would like it.
5 stars ***** Thank you very much for your nice comment. Have a nice evening and all the best.
Dear greetings Christel
2 Dec 2010 9:08pm
@Christel: I think that's a great idea, Christel! He SHOULD bake me a cake!! (Lilly)
Richard from Montferland, Netherlands
Great shot Ronnie and better story;-)) and a diet is for girls...........

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
Nice... and I've eaten all the desserts from Thanksgiving too... I'll have to exercise some other way.
2 Dec 2010 9:58pm
@Earnest: Well, although Thanksgiving does not touch down on the UK, I did buy a few 'extras' myself. Purely in the spirit if things, y'know ! Thanks Earnest. (Ronnie)
Amanda from Jersey City, United States
Hahah--Ronnie and I must be on the same diet! These holidays bring such delicious foods with them!
3 Dec 2010 12:50am
@Amanda: So true. And, the most dangerous time is after the holiday when the stores sell off all the leftovers at half-price or less . . luxury cookies, marzipan stollen, fruit pies, rich puddings, chocs . . I have my list ready ! (Ronnie)
@B. Thomas: Yay ! . . . 22 days and counting ! (Ronnie)
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Borden must be really liking Ronnie these days. :-) Nice blending job here. It looks like someone is snacking while trying to exercise.

Becky from los angeles, United States
HA! Lily always asks the smartest questions. She's got his number! I ... have a feeling... it's all that's left. hmmm... if it was in my kitchen - that's all that would be left. : )
3 Dec 2010 6:09am
@Becky: They are so easy to eat . . no sitting down, no tools needed other than greed ! (Bloated Ronnie)
@jpla: . . et pour vous - un grand week-end! (L&R)
Bruno from froyennes, Belgium

Tamara from Aarschot, Belgium

Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
I had never heard of shortbread until I stumbled upon a recipe on the Internet not that long ago and it turned out really nice when I made it! So I know why there's only a little piece left on Ronnie's side of the photo ;) I have not idea what that thing in the background is? Doesn't look familiar and if it has to do with sports, I surely wont recognize it!
3 Dec 2010 11:24am
@Monique: Thank you, Monique. That shortbread sure is addictive, huh? ! (Ronnie)
GJC from Kyoto (京都), Japan
It was Arlo! Yeah, that's it. One night he just must have come in and ... (take it from there.)

Haha excellent, just at lunch time here, you'll have me having a double thinking while opening the fridge - hilarious & superbly done as USUAL - bravo (don't let that bit of sin too long here, i might bite my screen)

I think you will be just fine, especially if that treadmill keeps count of how many bites you take.... :0

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Well, it looks like that Walker's shortbread which is the best stuff on earth. I'm sure it's good for you. Right, Ronnie?

hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
"Good shape or Scottish shortbread?" Quite a dilemma! "Maybe shortbread now and good shape later?" This is perfectly sensible to me.:-) Have a lovely weekend!

Bettina from Los Angeles, United States
Wow, things are shaping up here once again. Shaping up for trouble. Ronnie, there's a lot of head shaking to be done here. Isn't shortbread all butter Drop and give me 100 right now!

Anita from West Nottingham, United States
:-) Just right for the season. Personally, I'm going to do both--exercise and eat (homemade) shortbread. Yum....
4 Dec 2010 10:31am
JJ from Jersey City, United States
So well presented, and its not hard to guess what the answer is, I know if its me, it would be all thats left when I remembered I wanted a photo of it, and all that I will be eating after taking the shot
4 Dec 2010 9:34pm
@JJ: It was torture, JJ ! (Ronnie)
Daryl Johnson from New Malden, United Kingdom
What's the point before Christmas...?

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
That piece of shortbread looks like it's been made and eaten with lots of love - and even more butter! Yum!
5 Dec 2010 8:47am
@dobbino: It was torture, I can tell you, Rob. Lilly kept saying I may need to re-shoot my image and I soooooo wanted to eat that last piece ! Enjoy the weekend. (Ronnie)

I think I would eat all and don't let anything for later... Diet is a word reserved for next year.
