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. sara 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.

... 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. |

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. |
