    Day 5: Okay before I tell ya'll about my sweets for the day, I'd like to preface by saying that I had surgery this morning and I felt like absolute crap all day (I woke up during the surgery. :noway: ).
    Oh wow, that shouldn't happen. I'm not surprised you had so much sweet stuff to eat. Are you okay now?

    Yeah I'm better, thank you. :heart:

    It's actually happened to me twice. Apparently I'm not particularly sensitive to anesthesia.

    omg, that must have been really scary!!!

    I am glad that you are ok. and hope that you are feeling better now.

    Thanks-- it does lend itself to panic.

    Felt kinda bad after I posted-- didn't want to come off as pity-seeking. I actually went back and edited that part out. Apparently narcotics cause over-sharing. :laugh: :blushing:

    8 May: Ghirardelli dark chocolate square with sea salt caramel filling. And a few glasses of cheap but tasty Italian prosecco. Maybe a wee bit of tequila later, or a wee bit of Talenti gelato - haven't decided yet.

    Acrylics, I idolize you!!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery also.

    I was going to plan a great dessert for tonight but then I dropped off a patient at the hospital and it turns out it's Nurses week. And what did they have? Tons of cookies. I had to grab a chocolate chip and a PB cookie. Damn cookies ruined my plans. The funniest part was as I'm grabbing cookies the nurses were surprised I eat sweets and they all wanted to see pictures of me when I was fat.

    That's a NSV, man. And I too hope Acrylics is all better soon!

    Day 1 - Wild Ophelia - Salted Chowchilla Almond. Already discovering new things. Wild Ophelia is a local company to Chicago with a handful of "unique flavors" - http://www.wildophelia.com/. Kind of difficult to review, but it is a nice balance of sweet milk chocolate bar, smokey chopped almonds and sea salt. Also, if you haven't ever tried it,... I highly recommend freezing the chocolate bars prior to consumption.
    Day 2 - Chocolove - Dark Chocolate w/ Crystallized Ginger. Nom Nom Nom, big ginger fan over here. Rich Dark Chocolate taste (65%) with just enough sweetness. Spicy and sweet ginger pieces throughout, but not overpowering.
    Day 3 - Wild Ophelia - Peanut Butter & Banana - Well, that was delightful :).... Milky chocolaty chocolate with a creamy peanut butter and banana taste (derrrr). Quite macro friendly too. Only 300 cals for the whole bar!
    Day 4 - Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Raisins & Pecans. OMGAHHHHH so good! Rich dark chocolate flavor with a crunch texture from the pecans. I also froze the bar per usual for extra added crunch! A number of gooey and sweet raisins all throughout the bar to top it off. YUM!
    Day 5 - Wild Ophelia Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chips. This was essentially just a crunchy dark chocolate bar with a very mild occasional crunch/smokey BBQ flavor. Kinda reminded me of a nestle crunch bar, just not as textured. You do get a BBQ chip after taste though... pretty unique. I quite enjoyed it :)

    After lurking the gelato thread and regretting not participating, I've been following this thread and doing the cleanse on my own...thought I would chime in here now:

    Day 1: Held a huuuge bake sale, ended up eating one and a half lemon squares, a mint chocolate chip cookie, and wo amazing Reese’s peanut butter cup cupcakes bought at the bake sale. Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and a mini Reese’s inside.
    Day 2: Pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked Froyo. The whole pint. So amazing and full of chunks of deliciousness.
    Day 3: Package of Birthday Cake M & Ms. Not bad- actually tastes pretty cake-like. Also, it’s teacher appreciation week, so I had two small browned butter blondie with chocolate chips and nuts from the lounge.
    Day 4: Teacher appreciation week continues- two small chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting.
    Day 5: One slice of marble cake with buttercream frosting, along with a little (lot) of extra frosting… one large chocolate chunk cookie, half of an M & M cookie, and half of a brownie. Teacher appreciation is the best and worst of all time.

    So I had to Google "Banoffee" to see if it was your own personal reference to "Banana + Toffee" or a regular thing one might expect to have in London or the UK generally.

    Wikipedia says: "Banoffee pie is an English dessert pie made from bananas, cream and toffee from boiled condensed milk (or dulce de leche), either on a pastry base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter. Some versions of the recipe also include chocolate, coffee or both."

    I am not a huge sweets eater, but OMG, that sounds pretty freaking awesome! :love:

    Day 1: Some amount of freshly made strawberry ice cream at the Charlotte Fair. Probably the best strawberry ice cream I've ever had; got to watch it being churned and scrapped out, which always makes things taste better. Super creamy, not too sweet, nice pieces of strawberry. nomnom
    Daty 2: Strawberry cheesecake, 3 oreo cookies, and a dark chocolate square filled with sea salt caramel.
    Day 3: 7 oreo cookies and milk.
    Day 4: A peanut buster parfait from Dairy Queen
    Day 5: 4 oreo cookies and two rice krispie treats.

    Day 1 - 30 grams of Bottlecaps (pressed sugar candies that taste like soda flavors), 12 ounces of Orange Leaf froyo and toppings.
    Day 2 - 2 chocolate covered graham crackers, 1 Cadbury creme egg
    Day 3 - Chocolate cupcake, 8 SweetTarts, marshmallow egg, Twix egg
    Day 4 - Raspberry licorice bar,1/3 of Ophelia banana chocolate bar ( mentioned by other posters), 40 grams spiced gumdrops. Have to say my redvie of the Ophelia bar is not as glowing. When I bought it I expected it to be a liquid center, like a Caramello bar, so the solid disappointed me.

    I'm very behind and just spent 30 minutes catching up on 6 pages of yumminess. Day too many of eating the Banana Split ice cream. I swear that ish is reproducing in my freezer at night. I'm going dessert shopping tomorrow regardless.

    Acrylics** I'm glad you're doing ok, and we all do worry and wish you a speedy recovery. Plus more narcotics overshares. :flowerforyou:

    Oh teacher appreciation week-- I remember it well. :embarassed:

    The trick is to only eat the really good stuff and not be guilted into a bunch of Walmart sugar cookies and other things not worth their calories.

    MrM I'm also super picky about chocolate chip-- have you tried Acg's perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe (I mean, I don't think he wrote it but he posted it)? It's pretty awesome, although a lot of work.

    http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/12/the-food-lab-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe.html

    And thanks everyone for the kind thoughts. :heart:

    It's the same recipe I use and it's PERFECT. I found it because I googled "chocolate chip cookies recipe" and it was the first result I could find with the ingredients measured by weight. I'm glad it's Acg-approved!
    When my oven broke some time ago my friends panicked because they wanted those cookies. They offered to pay for the new oven :laugh:
    (ça va sans dire, I'll be baking cookies one of these days. Too much cookies propaganda around here :laugh: ) [/quote]

    ETA: I'm also looking for dairy-free cake suggestions. I want to bake something for my lactose-intolerant roommate and I also want to try something new. Anything not-italian would be "something new", so I may use some help. :)

    Day 1 - 67g of Sweet Freedom vanilla ice cream and a chocolate protein milkshake
    Day 2 - Pancakes and single serving vanilla cake
    Day 3 - Kugel (150g). Man I love the stuff. More pancakes
    Day 4 - Kugel for breakfast. Protein cheesecake at lunch. Pancakes for dinner.
    Day 5 - Kugel and pancakes for breakfast. Chocolate protein milk shake as a snack. Yoplait frozen Greek yogurt with honey and caramel bar for lunch.
    Day 6 - Protein cheesecake with caramel and whipped cream for breakfast (no shame). I was going to take a picture, but then I'd have to upload it, and it was too much work and I wanted to eat it already. Might be all for today, if all goes according to plan.
