The makings for the white chocolate martini are chilling in the fridge. Technically, we may not actually have one tomorrow as we have been invited to no less than THREE New Year's Eve parties, and if I have a white chocolate martini before a party we won't actually make it TO the party. But it's nice to know it's there....
Bizarrely, I have now lost interest in my chocolate stash. Knowing I'll be able to have it seems to be enough. Obviously, I respond to the "forbidden fruit" idea, which I sort of knew. Idaho is quite close to Nevada & legalized gambling, but the only times I thought it was any fun were the times I did it while I was underage. I like knowing I have chocolate in the house--and will be hiding some of it so Andy doesn't eat it all--but if I do have any on Friday, it will be a very small piece.
Since we were staying with relatives over Christmas, we suspended our diet while we were there. I would never expect anyone hosting us to live by our experiments, and for 4 days we ate "normally" and I thought I had gotten away with it--no stomach upset, no side effects. Then we flew home. Oh my. There really is no going back........bummer. Looks like next year's project will be: finding a reasonable diet we can live with. This time, with a little more chocolate......
