<p>Oh dear god, that is tempting. :)</p>
<p>I have an entire bag of freshly made (grandma made them) ginger snap cookies, and i am resisting temptation to go devour them all… :D</p>
<p>I have an apple dipped in homemade sea salt caramel and dark chocolate, drizzled with white and milk chocolates. I’m making a major effort to resist eating it. :D</p>
<p>^^^ Why? chomp away!</p>
<p>I just rang the doorbell and am sharing some mini dark chocolate/white chocolate cheesecakes - bite size! I’ll have tea please…</p>
<p>Quick - Let me IN! Sounds so good.</p>
<p>And lets laugh until our faces hurt. And we wet our pants just a little bit from laughing too hard.</p>
<p>owlice, you are a naughty, naughty girl! Okay, I’ll have a cookie, as long as it is a virtual one. :)</p>
<p>BB, oatmeal is good for you! Please, have several!! :)</p>
<p>:: hands abasket a mug of tea ::</p>
<p>[_]o</p>
<p>There ya go!</p>
<p>Got flan. Got lots of flan… the little, round individual ones made with condensed milk, so very creamy and dense and rich. I’ll share. O O O O O O</p>
<p>Nothing like a hot mug of tea in your hands…and a warm, gooey oatmeal chocolate chip cookie!</p>
<p>Well, it’s now 5:01 PM. Time for my daily medicinal dose of good-for-your-heart red wine!</p>
<p>Very happy, I have a lovely triple cream cheese made by a local cheese maker. Please have some with your wine.</p>
<p>I just made a birthday cake for my husband and he travels for work so I sent him on his way with a slice and now I have all this cake left. It’s Martha Stewart’s yellow butter cake recipe with chocolate icing. Yummmm…</p>
<p>mafool, sounds lovely! I’ll put it on some of my gourmet crackers.</p>
<p>Here you go, VeryHappy. Cheers!</p>
<p>Helenback, it sounds delicious. Just a sliver for me, though! Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, IRL I succeeded in giving away the caramel chocolate apple, but I will indeed have some of Mafool’s cheese.</p>
<p>By all means, Consolation! Help yourself!</p>
<p>While we are sampling cheese, here’s a treat:</p>
<p>I have some fig preserves, which is terrific served with a good Stilton (sounds odd, I know). Shall I break that out, too?</p>
<p>Well, if nobody else is going to eat Owlice’s chocolate cake with mocha icing, then I’ll eat that. (Yes, the whole cake), and I have some of my homemade vanilla bean icecream because today was in the high 50’s and I couldn’t resist making it.</p>
<p>Yes, please Mafool!</p>
