Happy Anniversary to me! I've been a good sport for two months now. No added fructose has entered my body - to the best of my knowledge off course!
I didn't even blink a sugar craving eyelid when I was preparing this double layer, Baked Chocolate and Vanilla Cheesecake for our 7 year wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago.
We celebrated our 7-year itch with blood-red bubbly from Misal (perhaps the most interesting sparking wine I've drank during the last 3 years in Croatia) and a decadent chocolate glaze, over luscious milk chocolate and vanilla layers of baked cream cheese and caramelised biscuits. I'm describing it like I've tasted it! The truth is I didn't. Not even one little crumb! Georgie and half a dozen others at his office described what it tasted like. I drank all the wine though!
But I think my fructose free days are coming to an end.
I still believe that eating sugar is really bad for our bodies. And I have certainly proven, mainly to myself, that I can quit the sugar addiction, if I put my mind to it.
This does not mean that I'm going to dip my face into a chocolate fountain but I will relax the restrictions a little bit. There are difficult and strange days coming up ahead and this is one less thing I have to worry about.
Wow....what a fantastic blog. I'm so glad you dropped out of lurker-dom and left a comment on mine so I could find you! Congrats on your fructose purge! I'm lucky in that I'm not a big chocolate fan. That being said, I do love cheesecake, so I'm headed over to check out your anniversary dessert. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for dropping by! My comments count now reads 7!!!! It is my lucky number!!
DeleteI consider people who don't like chocolate to be some sort of superior beings, evolved to a level beyond the rest of us slaves of the dark goddess! I envy and admire you :)
