For Valentine's Day Hubby Tony gave me a large box of assorted dark chocolates. The box had a full selection of flavors. There were bite-sized creams, caramels, chocolate caramels, sea salt caramels, coconuts, fudges, molasses, and nuts enveloped in chocolate.
I had a piece, then offered the box around so everyone could sample. When it came back to me I had another piece. Ten minutes later a third. I couldn't leave it along! Every time I passed by the kitchen table a piece jumped into my mouth, but at the end of the day the box still had a lot of pieces left in it.
I knew that with my lack of willpower for chocolate the pattern would continue all week. Yesterday Son Donald had a friend over to work on a project. As they settled down at the kitchen table with their books and paperwork, with Tony's permission I set the box of candy next to them and told them they'd be doing me a favor to eat some of it.
Nine hours later there was only a half dozen pieces left. I'd call that a very good deed on their part.
I take that sort of stuff to work, for the road guys. What a relief.
ReplyDeleteAll the individually-wrapped sweets go to Tony's office (and I'm glad to get rid of them).
