I Survived Hosting the Dessert Gala!
I think I was just too tired to even think about putting anything in my mouth! This was a church event attended by about 150 people after our children's choir Christmas performance. I had to plate loads of chocolate and and other sugary goodness, but this week (unlike last week's event) there was at least some cheese plates.
I had three pieces of pepperoni and accidentally licked some lemon curd off my finger -- then stopped mid-lick! Between the set up, the decorating, getting all the food out on time, and then the clean up, I'm beat!I
I've only had 400 calories and am short on protein, so gotta go scarf down some of the pork tenderloin that I cooked yesterday. At this point, I'd rather just drink a shake a go to bed!
So, it is possible to be surrounded by Christmas goodies and survive!

I on the other hand succumbed to spearmint gum drops (2) while assembling gingerbread houses with my kids this weekend.
It was a choice and it surprisingly was not as good as I remember last year.
But lemon curd....oh my you are strong!

LOL -- what I really wanted to do was lick all of it off my fingers, then lick the cake cutter that was covered with chocolate mousse and whipped cream and chocolate cake (that was some cake!) -- instead I quickly handed over the cake cutter to my husband with a panicked look in my eyes, and said, "Wash this. Quick!". Luckily he was right there and took it! That was a close call!
