    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.

    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 - Nothing :(
    Day 2 - Risen candies and starburst candies
    Day 3- MORE Risend candies and starburst candies
    Day 4 - Starburst candies (The last in the candy dish) plus a Risen - I couldn't resist the temptation any longer
    Day 5 - One fourth of a chocolate Easter bunny (I ate his ears today) - In actuality, that should be 1/5 of a chocolate bunny (To be specific it's a Mr. Rockstar with star shaped sprinkles in it), when I was dividing up into portion sizes, I got 5 portions for the total grams it said on serving was.
    Day 6 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - I have his head to enjoy today (that sounds really morbid)
