I have a sweet tooth. No, I have 36 sweet teeth. I have a sweet mouth, I guess. Pisces is very health-conscious, and I have been trying to be more so at his gentle prodding. However, the season has changed. I can't really explain it, because it's not cold, but it's a little cooler, and there is a fall feeling in the air. I wonder if this season change is behind my uncontrollable cravings for SWEETS! The last few trips to the grocery store have been tortuous. Apparently Nabisco now makes mint-creme filled oreos that are covered in chocolate. The nerve. And a friend, a dear friend with serious talent, has a facebook page for her business of SWEETS. Like banana sour cream cake and The Bombe.
The Bombe. I tried this at one of our Mom's Night Out gatherings. Said friend brought it for taste-testing. I didn't know what it was when I put it on my plate; I just saw a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. But after I took the first bite, I burst out, "What
IS that?!"
"The Bombe." Three other moms chimed in unison,
not even turning their heads. They knew from the sound of my voice what I was talking about. The Bombe is an experience every woman should have (I am a fan of this page on facebook. You can find it by looking at my profile).
But I digress. In the midst of all this decadent day dreaming, I looked at the pile of mail today. This is all I have to say. HOW DID THESE GUYS GET MY ADDRESS?!
The Swiss ColonyI just want some cake. With frosting. And preferably four to five alternating layers of chocolate buttercream filling. A cute little frosting Santa design would be nice, but it's not necessary. Bring. Me. Some. Cake.
I'm trying to be good. Really I am. I got some Marshmallow Mateys cereal to satisfy my need for sweetness. I don't know if that really helps though. I mean, this is the stuff that helped me gain 50 pounds during my pregnancy with Pearl. So clear logic dictates that I should just buy a stinking cake, right? That seems to be the only logical conclusion. Plus, with any order I get a free pound of chocolate covered macademia nuts. It's economical, you know. Or if I go with The Bombe, it's pretty much dessert and therapy all in one.
I think I need a bowl of cereal.
