Remember The Archies' song "Sugar, sugar"? I love that song. I'm singing it today because I've eaten entirely too much of the stuff over the past week. I'll just summarize the past 24 hours in which I made up a batch (uh, I think something like 42) of madeleines, most of which I gave away--although not all. That was yesterday (and today's breakfast). Today I happened onto a sweets boutique that sells these butter cakes from Brittany: kouign amann. And OH MY GOD but they are good. And they're mostly sugar and butter. Am hoping the red wine I'm drinking will counter act all of that artery clogging goodness.
So, I'm turning over a new leaf tomorrow. No candy and very little sugar. I've simply overdone it lately. As for gratitude, I'm thankful for:
1) the fact that I have the means to buy and live in a place where I can eat such divine things
2) the fact that I have enough willpower to cut it out when it gets outta hand
3) the wedding that I happened upon this afternoon...beautiful and happy and a joy to run into
4) that I wandered all around the Marais today under cloudy skies but didn't get rained on
5) a fun party last night with great people
What about you?
