Damn You Nigella!

Alright, that was a bit harsh for a woman I absolutely adore...but WHY does she have to make such scrumptious looking food look even more scrumptious??? Why couldn't she be one of those boring TV cooks who you can just as well turn off??? NOOOOOO, she has to make chocolate look like the Devil himself...sinful beyond sinful, cream never looks fluffier then when she fluffs it...I salivate just watching her show...why do I do this to myself? Well, first of all because of all the "interesting" channels we have here in Scandinavia, there isn't much on Saturdays and so you pick the best channel and leave it and guess who is on it....

I'm going to be good though...soon, the dogs ate a half an hour ago so we can soon go for a walk with them- out into the snow...the snow that is coming down steadily-nonstop. We'll get all bundled up....trudge out into the wet coldness, down into the field, slippin' and a slide'n, then up through deep sand like snow...to make the workout complete, to give the dogs a worthy walk- we'll cut across the field behind our house also...the one where there is no tracks...so you trudge through deep untouched snow...snow that comes up to your knees (check photo) and then out to the road and back to the house... Once back here in our warm abode, there will be some lovely tea or hot chocolate and a lovely pastry we bought at the store this morning. I considered baking, but considered against it. I'm fighting with myself to be good when it comes to food...it's an addiction which I struggle with every day. Have been talking with Sarah about beginning with something we did awhile back, where we ate NO chocolate, NO Chips, and NO soda. We actually went three months with no problems. It was hard at first of course but we managed- but then we broke down one weekend and like any addict who gets a taste of something they shouldn't have...it was hard to say no the next time....but I think I'm ready to try this again....but this time not give in...hmmm.....it might work...maybe....who knows? Doesn't hurt to try.

Well, I better get going.....can you hear how excited I am to go? Well, I am you know....it will be so fun out in the beautiful snowy nature...OH BOY! :-)) Here I go......I'm really going.....seriously, don't try and talk me out of going, I mean, once I'm decided about something there is NO changing my mind....they say half the battle is getting out the door...the other half must be getting to the door....but hey, this is me, the glass half full girl....I'm really looking forward to going out in this snow and walking through it- up to my knees....yeah...I'm actually looking more forward to the pastry and tea when I get back...but no walkie...no pastry...so here I go......for real...see ya!!!
