    Yea, well I wish someone had brought something I could take a picture of to my mother's house. There was no cake, no nothing!!! I mean I can't be mad at all, I know i never take stuff like that because my mother is diabetic and will eat everything she's not supposed to so I don't bother bringing it around. It's just sitting here next to my partner today and him talking about all the awesome stuff he had yesterday. He's cruisin' for a bruising.
    lol! Ah well, there's always tonight, right?! Now I gotta think up something yummy to make.... hmmm.....

    I admit you guys are a pretty good inspiration. I love baking. But I have no self control (still) around baked goods, as I know they won't keep forever and me and my husband are pretty much the only ones who eat them (I have weird kids).

    So I don't make them :(

    I've got a recipe for cookie butter, because we don't have a Trader Joe's around here. It's made from cashews, which I love. But I'm not sure it's safe to have around considering the calorie count. :laugh: So I haven't made it yet.
    DLV and I would be more than happy to send you and Mr. Acrylics some.

    Hmmm we might have to take you up on that sometime.

    Day 4 - Talenti Belgian Milk Chocolate mixed with a frozen, diced Cadbury Creme Egg.
    Day 5- Talenti Raspberries and Cream, Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate, and the rest of the Talenti Raspberries and Cream because it looked lonely.

    Day 1: 450 ml lemon sorbet, 486 kcal. Okay, won't buy again; should be more extravagant for that amount of calories.
    Day 2: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew. Sugar coma approaches, think I overdid it a bit.
    Day 3: Small serving of salmiak liquorice ice cream, and Daim bar.
    Day 4: White-chocolate cranberry cookies, mint thingies, and a couple of white-chocolate miniature bars.
    Day 5: Mint thingies, few white-chocolate miniature bars.
    Day 6: Half-healthy today; oranges and bananas with whipped heavy cream, which was about to go bad.
    Day 7: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew.
    Day 8: Cookies, different chocolate ones.
    Day 9: Chocolate-chip cookies. Nowhere nearly as nice as homemade, can't wait to have a functioning oven.

    Day 1: Graze Apple cinnamon flapjack and 3/4 of a blueberry poptart under black cherry ice cream.
    Day 2: Speculoos cookie butter sandwich and a blueberry poptart
    Day 3: 3/4 of a poptart, a red velvet cupcake, and a big cup of red velvet ice cream from my local ice cream place.
    Day 4: Three Salty N Sweet Caramel Chunk Chips Ahoy cookies. Good, but I hate how they're so tiny.
    Day 5: Two salty n sweet chips ahoy, two gooey chocolate chips ahoy. Less sweets since I enjoyed a giant crab cake wrap with fries for dinner.
    Day 6: Three salty n sweet chips ahoy, two eggo chocolate chip waffles and black cherry ice cream.

    FML entered all this stuff with pictures etc and my browser reloads.

    So since 4th May I already have stuff I can share.

    1: Pb chocolate oat cookies, chocolate icecream with banana
    2: Connoisseur Caramel and macadamia icecream stick
    3: Aero chocolate, Connoisseur honey and pistachio (honey and chocolate combination? Found it unusual but it was okay), Reece's peanut butter (so creamy and sweet -- I don't want any other pb now lol)
    4: Connoisseur cookies & cream (tasted like crushed oreos soaked in vanilla cream -- was okay but lacked the crunchiness and chewiness of a real chocolate cookie that you can eat how you like alongside ice cream), more peanut butter.
    5: Taro flavoured sponge cake (just a slightly funny tasting sponge cake), Connoisseur Madagascan Vanilla (simple but good)
    6: Connoisseur Sumatran coconut (I don't like coconut things like Bounty usually but this was nice)
    7: Dessert Delights Rainbow gum, Chocolate peanut butter pop tarts (whole box, 6 pastries), creme egg.
    8: More gum, 8 oatmeal maple brown sugar pop tarts, 4 Hershey's chocolate fudge pops (not actually that nice, tastes like the sugar free chocolate syrup but way more calories)
    9: 6 Peanut butter pop tarts (no icing, and after all the sugar and peanut butter I've had this week they seemed very plain)

    I've had all the Connoisseur icecream stick flavours now! What now?? Ben & Jerry's probably lol (I've never had any of their icecream as yet....)

    I also hit PR on OHP yesterday after consuming Chocolate Bar as preworkout. Hit 5 lbs over previous 1rm for a double, almost triple.

    Sweets = Gainz.
