Good Morning. 😀
Oh… yeah… about this post title.
Ok… here’s my story. 😛
The Missions banquet was on March 25th and I was bidding on a few silent auction baskets for the fudge cause. Throughout the night I wound up winning two – one with home made bread (mmmmmmm!) and another which was a basket of new tools and a pound of homemade fudge. I really thought the basket was cool with the fudge tools.
“But Sheila, March 25th was over a week ago, how did this fudge devouring just come up?”
Great question!
Al and I had driven separate to the banquet as I was part of the set up and tear down. At the end of the night I sent him and Chance home with both baskets. When I came home about an hour after them the bread was on the kitchen counter… the fudge tool basket was no where to be found.
When I asked Al about this he told me that I said the tools were for him and so he left it down at our shop behind our house. *a slight sweat broke out across my brow* I agreed with him that the tools were for him, but I did want to try the fudge. He said he would bring it up, and I said, “no, no… it was better this way”… out of sight… out of mind. I did not need the fudge – I was getting ready for biking season…
and that should have been the end of the story.
Then last night Al comes in the house after work with the fudge tool basket. I asked why it was in the house…. this basket of fudge tools, and he said that I had mentioned wanting to try the fudge.
“Oh, that’s right, there is fudge in there.” I replied, not meeting his eyes.
We had dinner and after dinner Al opened up the fudge that was cut into nice large 1/4 pound pieces. He took the top piece with a glass of milk. When I looked at him he said, “What? Is that too much fudge?”
I told him 1/4 pound piece of fudge was pretty large. He smiled and took the fudge and milk downstairs to watch tv.
I waited of course, until he was comfy downstairs, and out of eye sight.
I made my way to the fudge and tore off a bit of one of the 1/4 pound pieces.
Oh….
HEAVEN.
(Have I mentioned that anything chocolate is pretty much like kryptonite to me?)
I took a bigger corner off the chunk and grabbed a cup of coffee…. mmmmmm even better.
Then I joined Al downstairs.
Then I came up and let the dogs out… little piece of fudge.
Then I came up and changed into my pj’s… little piece of fudge.
When Al went to bed I had another cup of coffee and yup you guessed it… BIGGER piece of fudge.
By the time I stopped…. I had eaten two of the quarter pound pieces.
Uhhh….
“oh.”
😯
This morning when Al got up for work at 5 a.m, the tool basket, some left over pizza and the rest of the fudge was by his keys with a note…
“Please take down to shop with you”
😳
So today…. April 5, enough of that… tonight I am taking a Turbo kick class followed by Zumba. On Wednesday a friend is taking me to my first kick boxing class where I do believe… I may not be able to type on Thursday. 😛
Have an awesome awesome day – and just say NO to the fudge.
Book Journey 
There are some foods that are just “can’t stop eating” foods. I can’t have them in the house. For me, it’s certain kinds of potato chips (like Old Dutch Dill Pickle…mmm…wish we had those down here in TX!), or those awful but oh so delicious donettes, or cadbury mini-eggs…and the list goes on. 😀 I do the same thing as you – ask Jason to take them with him so I won’t spend the whole day pigging out on them!!!
I have to do that too Amanda – I tell myself that I am buying it for the guys…. yeah… who am I kidding 🙂
supposedly if you eat “a little bit” of whatever food you are craving it satisfies you…that never worked for me either!
life is for living…if a 1/2# of knock your socks off fudge makes you happy…go for it!! it’s not like you do it every day!
personally i think you’re generous for letting al have any of it…weren’t the tools enough?!
No – I just want more Diana 😀
Fudge is hard to resist. At least you tried…
Right! Thats right! I tried 😛
I do love anything chocolate, but my biggest “can’t stop eating” guilty pleasure is ice cream. Especially coconut ice cream. It’s good with coffee, too. I also love apple pastries.
Okay, time to hit the bike! And my gym is now doing Zumba during our workouts. So I can work off all the bad stuff….
After the gym, maybe I can go to Barnes & Noble (for coffee, of course), and maybe just a taste of that apple purse thing they have…LOL
I have never had coconut ice cream…. I love chips and salsa…. shoot – I love nachos 😀
Oh how I love fudge! I haven’t had it in years and you are giving me ideas! 🙂
Oh oh Rebecca 😀
Sheila, my mother-in-law swears by fudge. She thinks it cures many illnesses, primarily sore throat. LOL
So, just tell yourself that it was medicinal. I’m a fudge lover too. Do you know those little shops like Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory? Evil, evil, evil. They sell lovely fudge. I’m just saying… 🙂
I have to avoid shops light that Kay 😀
Thanks for the laugh! 😀
Fudge isn’t one of those foods for me — I’m much more likely to fall prey to salty snacks.
I go back and forth Hannah – I crave sugar… then I want salt…. when we go to the movies we buy the popcorn and then our m and m’s over the top…. I know I know… I have issues 😀
I do crave chocolate, or even sugar, every once in awhile, but for me, that’s pretty rare. And having it in the house doesn’t mean I’ll devour it.
Too fudgy…I mean funny! ^_^ A little taste isn’t so bad, it’s that pesky issue of self control. Have fun at the exercise classes!
I need to let go of the fudge… thankfully hubby took the hint and when I got up the fudge was gone 😀
self control? IOs that possible when there is fudge in the house?
Nope – that’s why it had to leave…. there was going to be show down and it was not going to be pretty 😀
I did really good giving up all sweets for 1 1/2 yrs. but lately I’ve been craving them. It’s a good thing there isn’t any fudge in this house or I would be all over it. Dave hides candy in his shop to keep me out of it.
When I am eating really healthy Barbara I used to take one day off and literally eat a quart of ice cream…. and chips… truly…. I need to get back to where treats are… treats 😀
That’s too funny!! Fudge is easy to love 😀
I have never made it Staci and I would not go into a store to buy it… BUT…. put it in front of me and well “HELLO!” 😛
It’s funny how little dibs and dabs of stuff like that can catch up with you.
Right…. dibs and dabs need to go away. AWAY. 😀
I’m not really into fudge but i love toffee and chocolate peanuts. 1 bag down yesterday and 5 toffees in two days – this might not seem much but like you getting into the fitness gear is my goal and they don’t help.
Keep strong! I hope i do! I wonder if there is a fitness challenge anywhere?!
😀
Our local YMCA has a Body Works challenge every spring… it starts soon – I will be joining.. it is $5 and they have weekly prizes… it is a good jump start to spring for me 🙂
I love fudge.
I can’t control myself around anything chocolaty.
Me too…. I will pass up any dessert… unless itis chocolate 😀
Self-forgiveness is very important. 😀
Thank you Jill… you and me…. we see eye to eye 😛
I love fudge- snickers fudge from Christmas Point is my favorite!
OOH – that does sounds good ANgie!
Mmmm, fudge! Irresistible!
apparently 😳
LOL
Hmm, fudge! Well, it’s not that bad, Sheila. You were going to eat it anyway. What does it matter you ate so much of it on the same day? 🙂
LOL – I love the way you think 😀
“What, is that too much fudge?” Ha! Ain’t no such thing, baby!!
LOL 😛
That is so easy to do! And so hard to say no to temptation. I’ve been eating healthy all week, and my hubby offered to take me out to The Melting Pot next weekend – like I could say no to that! I’ll just have to exercise that much more!
My hubby loves tog o out and eat (I do too but try not to do that so much…) of course when he mentions it…. I wind up going out and eating 😀
