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.

I just set out the leftover goodies from our luncheon on Tuesday. Hoping
to clear them out of the office fridge before the weekend--they're
almost gone now.

It's okay that you sampled and then locked yourself in--you got a taste
of what you were hankering for, now you can just move on. Hopefully you
won't have to worry about it for much longer--10 a.m. coffee break is
coming up!

Hang tough!

Yum! You chose my favorite flavorsg

It's hard this time of year when everyone wants to bring these type of
goodies to work to share. You've done the right thing by staying away until
they're gone. I just wish they would keep them on their desks instead of
putting them in central locations. One of my co-worker's wife teaches
culinary classes at a local college. Each year he brings in two large boxes
of baked goods and candy. These things not only taste good but the
presentation is always fabulous. They should hit the office next week so
I'll probably need to post a similar message soon.

Stay away from the office kitchen. Maybe we could talk these people into
bringing fruit and veggie trays next yearG

Just think, the time you spent typing this wasn't spent eating fudge! :-)

I think there's an unexamined idea that you need to sample each flavor
to make the determination about which one you like best. But if you
examine that concept you'll realize that you already KNOW that you'll
like some of them better than others and it really doesn't matter.
Because fudge is MEANT to be liked. It's there purely for mouth
entertainment.

Good luck with your temptations!

Well don't leave us in suspense; how was it? Perhaps I can get my fudge
vicariously :-)

my italian professor made italian dessert for our last day of class, and it was
sooo buttery, but goddamnit i had to have a piece, and then i had 1/2 of a
piece of another kind of cake (not as buttery, though)...so let's see, what's
for lunch-- a banana?

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

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.
