So when New Doctor told me to knock off the sugar, I said "Sure. No problem. I've never had much of a sweet tooth. This will be a piece of cake!"

Now all I want is that piece of cake. Chocolate. With a dark chocolate ganache and a barely there dusting of powdered sugar.

@BrazenlyLiberal
lol, why is it we always want what we can't or shouldn't have??

@CinnamonGirlE

I'm not a waffle person, but I would NOT mind taking a spoon to those toppings.

@BrazenlyLiberal
I like pastries better, but that cake would be good. Now I want something sweet, lol.

@CinnamonGirlE @BrazenlyLiberal that looks vaguely like a slice of cake from Maggianos. Always eye poppingly large.

@fuse @BrazenlyLiberal
I just found this on the internet. It looks delicious!

@BrazenlyLiberal
Like telling someone to go into the corner and think of anything but a white elephant.
Good luck!

@BrazenlyLiberal
hang in there. It takes 7 to 10 days for the worst sugar cravings to go away. Day 5 is always the worst for me.

Everything packaged has sugar so be careful with cravings for bread after the 7th day. Good luck!

@BrazenlyLiberal ...from a few bday's back, husband had this little gem made for me: bottom layer chocolate cake, then vanilla custard, then strawberry cake, lemon custard, white cake, vanilla custard, chocolate cake. Almond frosting.πŸ˜‹

@UmbaSaffire

Oooooooohhh. That is one helluva cake
Your husband sounds like a keeper

@tgraph52 speaking of tease, someone suggested making watermelon sorbet tb, so on a mission to find a good watermelon! πŸ‰

@BrazenlyLiberal

@UmbaSaffire @tgraph52

Hm. This time of year, Mexican watermelons are the best.

I'll be interested in how that turns out. My problem has been that more delicately flavored fruits seem to get lost in the sugar of sorbet.

@BrazenlyLiberal ty, that's good to know. I was planning to try it without sweetener 😬 we'll see🀞... got a new gadget for making it and was able to make banana, pinapple and cherry using fruit only w no sugar added. Watermelon may be a different animal though. Will post the result unless it totally flops😁!

@tgraph52

@BrazenlyLiberal ..it was ...lolπŸ˜… ... he's my bud and he did good!πŸ˜‹

@BrazenlyLiberal Someone brought a box of Mexican sugar breads into the house. I have tried them before, but I have never really liked them that much or gone out of my way to eat them, but now that I'm diabetic?

The box has a golden glow, choirs of angels singing out of it, a gentle creamy sweet smell coming out like a phantom and attempting to lure me.

Same thing happens with doughnuts.
