indigo_rose99Every morning we go to the gym. We avoid elevators, even when I'm in heels on rough seas and we are going from deck 2 to deck 9.
And yet the 24-hour food deck is just one up from our room and easy to walk across to reach the gym, deciding we don't want the food. We have been mostly successful in avoiding the Endless Food Temptation... until today.
We were going to a cooking demo when we saw... the Chocolate Festival. Piles of chocolate. Trays arranged in diagonal rows. Cake, tiny chocolate custards, white chocolate mousse in parfait glasses, eclairs, chocolate covered strawberries, tiny rectangular tiramisu, and many brown attractive shapes I can only guess at.
Lunch plans were tossed by the wayside as I filled my plate, then T's plate with everything I could not fit on mine. We think we gained a pound apiece in 15 minutes.
Now I am full, but still my brain hungers for something not sweet.
And perhaps one more of those little custards...
