"Eat All The Sweets" - A 30 Day Tale of Love & Happiness

CallMeCupcakeDammit

I did it! I'm over calories because I don't log burns on lifting days, and my macros are a mess, but I wanted to try the other flavor of the rice pudding. I liked the taro better than the black-eyed pea, but I won't get it again because it was impossible to log. Sorry about the picture size, I'm not online to fix it. Next time I'll try the taro smoothie. It's purple.

Forced to take a hiatus due to some severe stomach issues that are making it hard to eat at all, let alone eat sweet stuff right now. Hopefully be back to finish up when not in pain.

Day 13 - Hunt's vanilla pudding cup, too many taste tests of homemade buttercream frosting for the cake for my son's birthday party, lemon cream povitica
Day 14 - birthday party day! English walnut povitica, cake, rice krispy treats, Swedish fish, and licorice. Yeah, an overage day for sure.
Day 15 - lemon cream povitica
Day 16 - 3 Keebler Deluxe Graham cookies, a hazelnut macchiato, and a serving of Talenti Hazelnut

Day 20 - a square of Ghirardelli dark chocolate with sea salt caramel and a mini salted caramel shake

As a big soccer fan, and someone who keeps waiting for the predictions I've heard all my life to come true ("Soccer is really about to take off here in the States - we finally have enough youngsters who played becoming adults who love the game and will watch live and on TV") -- I am happy to see you at a game and at the same tie depressed to see how empty the stands are across from you, even on a weekday!

In our defense, that was like an hour before the game. But LA on a weekday usually looks pretty sparse. Traffic prevents a lot of fans from getting out to the stadium on a weeknight. Check out attendance for Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders however. Even midweek they rock their stadium. Weekend games in LA are usually 26k+. MLS attendance is becoming comparable to NHL attendance.

We seem to be getting that "take off" here in KC, FINALLY. It's been amazing to see the difference a few years has made. Last I heard, Sporting's sold out more than 40 straight home games - I didn't happen to catch the attendance numbers tonight.
(And wow, that cinnabon roll looks good!)

Since I never seem to remember to take pictures of my sweets, I'll derail us even further into MLS talk, and share a couple shots I took at tonight's SKCvTOR game instead to make Cortelli feel better about attendance. Sadly (?), no stadium food for me to photograph tonight - I'd filled up too well on a really good burger before the game.

Days 1-5 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa from Ghana) each night, sometimes with 30g brie cheese
Day 6 Fruit and custard
Day 7 Raw brownie bar (walnuts, dates and cocoa powder - so rich and so yummy)
Day 8 Peanut butter brownie bar using greek yoghurt (1 serving), no-bake chocolate peanut butter oat slice (5 servings - can't stay away from no-bake things), 1 gingersnap cookie, some leftover melted peanut butter and honey from when I was making the brownie bar and granola for the week, probably 1 or 2 servings worth - went over the calories this day, but on a weekly average no problems
Day 9 Gluten-free blueberry muffin - not bad as it was still half-frozen, which made up for the fact that it was on special about 2 weeks ago and was probably stale back then. And a small spoonful of chocolate chip cookie dough ...
Day 10 2 chocolate chip cookies made with gluten free flour, 1 spoonful of cookie dough for a flourless chocolate chip cookie and 1 finished cookie
Day 11 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa)
Day 12 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa). Also had a few small tastes of the arroz con leche (rice pudding) I made for dessert tomorrow - for quality assurance purposes!
Day 13 Arroz con leche, using cranberries instead of raisins

Day 14 Peanut butter cookies (2 spoonfuls of dough, 2 finished products), lebkuchen (German Christmas cookie - 2) before I realised the icing mixture I used to glaze the lebkuchen contained gluten ... feeling a little sorry for myself right now

Lebkuchen


Peanut butter cookies (so soft and chewy!)

Day 19: a pastry this morning - not sure what it was called... like a croissant with big sugar crystals on the outside and a custardy filling . . .

That's going to be, generically, a "brioche" or in your case with filling a "brioche con crema" -- or generically a croissant of some sort and you just want to say "Mi da una brioche, per piacere?" pointing to the one you want.

I am going to be in Rome for a week or so in less than a month's time and I am already looking forward to stumbling out into the streets in the AM after dealing with jet lag, and finding the nearest bar for a "brioche" and a "café" (and then also finding the same place for a "rosso" sometime later in the morning :flowerforyou: )

Sporting KC is maybe . . . maybe . . . the club that makes soccer finally successful in the US. Not only really successful in its market but showing good soccer to other markets and driving interest in the MLS in the US! :drinker: I just don't want to invest too much of my hopes . . . but, maybe . . .

Yeah, the side-effects of gluten aren't that pleasant ... but on the bright side it's stopped me from eating any more of those cookies! Only a little over my calories for the day since I've stopped eating the cookies, but overall the week is still good (and I lost weight this week too, to put me in my maintenance range again - YAY!)

Glad you like the pictures - I love baking ... and eating the dough ... and the finished products!
