correction

In my previous blog entry, I reported some incorrect information. I stated that the box of carmels contained 18 luscious pieces caramel. I have re-checked the situation and upon further investigation I have found that there were actually 32 (thirty-two) pieces of the delictable confection. I shamefully regret the error.

seize the moment....then stop!

I really need to get a grip. If I have any yummy treat in front of me, and if I know that I won't be able to stop after eating just ONE, then I tell myself that I shouldn't even start - I should just completely abstain from any of it. I've been telling myself this for a very long time, but apparently I haven't learned to take my own advice. Case in point...

Our anniversary last week. My thoughtful sister-in-law, Julie, gave John and me a box (to share) of the most divine caramels from "V Chocolates." Two layers of 9 delectable caramels in the box (totaling 18 caramels). We are now down to only three left. (Oh sorry, now it's two... mmmm.) I sheepishly confess that my husband has had only ONE bite. No, I don't mean one caramel, I mean one bite of one caramel. I have eaten the rest. It's shameful, I know. (And it's not that he didn't love that one bite, the boy just has self-control whereas his wife is out-of-control.)

Some with nuts (almonds, macadamia, walnuts), and some without- all dipped or drizzled in a delicate and rich dark chocolate....sigh.

Inside the box, where, underneath this flap, lies the next best thing to heaven.

Okay, Maryanne (slap!), seize the moment- NOT the entire box!
