Bring it on desserts

My appetite is back praise God! There have been so many desserts that I have consumed since chocolate and sugar came back into the picture. It is a joyous reunion. These desserts are from a bakery in Hacienda Heights called RJ Patisserie. I got these when I went home for Chinese New Year. My family and I always go this the restaurant a few places down from this dessert store and I always find myself drifting there for something sweet. I also love that they serve hot tea with a stir stick that has rock candy at the end for you to sweeten the tea with. Those two wonderful desserts are a mango mousse cake and a tiramisu. They were delicious, soft, spongy and
oh so good. What can I say? I have a second
stomach for dessert. :)

Without Chocolate


My thyroid issues have kicked back into their hyper-mode, so I am now on a bland diet. That means no excess amount of sugar or chocolate, but I am completely trying to steer clear of both for a few days. I am ignoring the massive amount of chocolate sitting in my fridge, especially the remaining pieces left from an Italian chocolate bar one of my students brought me back on her trip to Italy.
God has healed me a lot over the past day or so and I finally got a full night of sleep, which was an answered prayer. I am going to keep on praying and using my excess amount of nervous energy for creative results.
