What a week it's been! I know it's been more than a week since I blogged, but I have an excellent reason. Rick and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary last weekend. We agreed that Rick was in charge of planning our getaway; and I had no idea where we were heading until we were actually on the way. Exciting, but the 'need to know what's going on' part of me was going a little crazy. Anyways, Rick made reservations at the hotel where we spent our wedding weekend. I loved that he thought of something so sentimental. The area where we were has developed quite a bit since we got married, and we had a blast. Rick made reservations at a fancy restaurant. The food was great. I know our waitress was doing her job, but it was strange to be served in such an elaborate manner. I kept wanting to say, "Thanks, but you really don't have to do that for me." May I say, the dessert was worth the price of admission and then some. I wish I had had my camera with me because the presentation alone was stunning. A singe tart filled with the most amazing chocolate mousse, covered in whipped cream (the house recipe), drizzled in raspberry sauce and garnished with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Amazing!
I love me some chocolate. My over 30 waistline, not so much. I headed back to the gym after a lengthy absence on Monday. I am sore! I'm trying to figure out how to satisfy my sweet tooth without sabatoging my workouts. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh chocolate, must we say goodbye?

What a wonderful surprise - and congratulations! As for how to work chocolate in...one really good square of chocolate a day helps me keep the cravings away. Usually the Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares that come individually wrapped. That dessert does sound heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI have always had trouble balancing my love, okay NEED, for chocolate and my desire to lesson my expanding waist. I have just started a plant based diet. It is a bit drastic but I have left room for grace in my chocolate consumption and have still lost almost 10 pounds...hopefully I will continue!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, sounds like a wonderful weekend!
Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I've heard keeping Hershey Kisses on hand to satisfy cravings is a good plan (though I have trouble stopping at one). Slim-Fast snack bars (come in various sweet flavors) are pretty yummy, too!
