Yes, I'm calling this "Christmas Sweet Eats" because that would pretty well describe the overwhelming and absolutely delicious treasure trove that we've received and are "subjecting" ourselves to eating. It's so nice to walk into the kitchen in the early a.m. and have just ONE cookie or piece of candy. Then, at mid-morning, it's time for another sugar pick-me-up. Then, some new goodies arrive, and they just can't be left "mournfully" waiting for someone to pay attention to them. Besides, it's not polite to miss tasting "new" treats. Truffles should definitely be outlawed. Their caloric range is around the 210 - 230 area. (Yes, there were some lower ones when I checked the caloric values, but they must be teeny tiny.) Is that why they're so delicious? Nuts are good for you, right? What about the ones that are sugar or chocolate coated? Hmmm. Do blonde-colored cookies contain fewer calories than the chocolate or gingerbread ones? Well, if you're really curious, come on over and we'll conduct some tasting experiments. Happy holiday eating is, as Martha would say, "a good thing."
You always have the best treats around at Christmas. I would happily join you in taste testing!
