There are some thing that just should not be served at the DFAC.
Here in Iraq, I am trying to stay in shape and get in better shape. I am running everyday, doing push-ups, and trying to maintain a healthy diet.
But, there it is–every night waiting for me to partake a the forbidden fruit:
Carrot Cake, with cream cheese frosting.
 I try so hard to resist, but I can not avoid the strong pull to the cake rack where I bypass the chocolate cake and the pecan pie.Â
I am a sinner. But, boy, that cake was good.
