lord give me strength

You've done the right thing by staying away until
they're gone.

and you've also done the right thing by trying a couple that you enjoy. you
haven't deprived yourself.

hello teacher tell me what's my lesson,
look right through me, look right through me.

I remember telling my nutritionist that I could not have done nearly
as well on my WOL had I still worked at my old job. It was an office
of 250 people, a typical cube farm (few private offices, so everyone's
desk was out in the open) all on one floor.

There was ALWAYS food around. From holiday (and I mean every holiday
imaginable; it was a very diverse workplace) treats to
mom/daughter/sister in a cooking class to gifts from other businesses
to cake for retirement/showers/new jobs to company-paid pizza for
particuarly intense work cycles — it never stopped.

For the past two and a half years, I've worked in an office of 15
people; during most of my shift, there are only two of us here. Sure,
once in a while someone will bring in something tasty to share, but
it's nothing like the relentless onslaught of goodies I experienced
before.

I sympathize with you.

As always, YMMV.

My pal the postmaster gets lots of goodies from the residents. She puts
most of it out to share and is under orders to call me if one particular
person brings fudge this year. I tasted it last year and it was exactly
like the kind my daddy used to make. (not creamy, but grainy, sugary)

I have his recipe but I'm skeered to make it s

Someone has brought in a fudge sampler today. Left it in the kitchen
at work. I went in to get my bowl and spoon to have my cereal and
there it was in all its glory. Many different flavors.

I had to try the pumpkin cheesecake and the peanut butter and now I'm
locking myself in my office until the rest of the office vulchers
devour it all and its gone. Too much temptation.
"No. No. Our private conversations have not been such that I'm anxious to
continue them. Forgive me for speaking so bluntly, but it is the
truth." --as Joel Cairo in THE MALTESE FALCON (1941).

On my first week on diet, I got sent a free sample of noodles in the mail
and a gift voucher from a chinese place I order from some time. :-)
*******s!

I didn't eat the noodles but I did order some chinese. I figure once a
fortnight or so isn't going to hurt me. Just not pizza.

Well, ya know - it wasn't "all that"... I don't know, it wasn't "good
enough" although it was sweet.

No offense, but to most people's tastes your dad made bad fudge. Posts to
the effect of "Why is my fudge so grainy?" are a regular occurrence on
rec.food.cooking. As for how to make grainy fudge, it is more in the method
than the recipe. If the recipe calls for corn syrup (or any other sweetener
in addition to the sugar) leave it out and stir it while it is cooling. This
will allow the sugar to crystallize.
