Big Plans

I have been dreaming of sugar, and what I'll have once I am able to consume sugar again. I'm a pie lover, so I anticipate a full pie, maybe cherry, or apple or...strawberry rhubarb! Yes, that's the one. Maybe I'll just eat sugary things until I puke; I'll need something to tide me over until next month's challenge is over.

There will be hot chocolate, and maybe cookies too! Today someone told about a new concept I'd never heard of before, called "Sugaring". Apparently, it's a Quebecois thing. You eat a meal (breakfast it seemed like) and just cover the whole thing in sugar or maple syrup. What a delightful way that would be to finish off a month without!

This is assuming I'll be able to handle it. After going that long without sugar, even the simplest foods may be way too sugary for me. I recall that happening from the last time.

And I can add sugar or syrup to my coffee again! Mocha is my favorite. I tried adding artificial sweetener to my coffee, but I gave it up pretty quickly. Splenda, at least, has a weird chemically aftertaste to which I can't grow accustomed. I know what you're going to say! What about blue agave? In the interests of fairness, I decided not to use blue agave either, since I am uncertain whether it counts or not. Besides, it's too much of an out, and would leave this blog a lot less interesting ('Impossible!' I'm sure you're screaming at your computer).

About which sugary delight do you dream?
