There was apple pie at my work today, and couldn't say no! Tasted very nice, but fed up with sugar cravings. Tomorrow I'm going to start taking a chrome supplement that suppressed this. I hope.
Walking home through the main street near where I live I saw a new shop, they used to sell second hand clothes there, but it's renovated and now they sell ..... candie! The shop was still open, and I had a quick look around: liquorice, sweets, chocolate and more chocolate. I couldn't believe my eyes. I just hope the shop doesn't always stay open till 10pm. Imagine walking past that store several times a week after work....
The whole street is a gourmet paradise. It used to be pretty rundown, until about 10 years ago. Now it's a great place for food shopping, there's a store that sells Spanish food, another one Portugese food - know those lovely little tarts, filled with vanilla cream? hmmm. And a shop that sells olive oils from all over Europe, another one sells wild salmon and real kaviar, you can buy Italian delicatessen, high quality cookware, there's a bookshop that only sells cookbooks, another one designer plates and cups and tablecloths.
And 2 shops that specialise in chocolate, 2 shops that sell ice cream and now there are 2! shops that sell candie.
Like I said, a gourmet heaven!
It's a good thing I'm always going for fast paced walks to lose some calories.... no time to stop and shop...
Can I come and visit? :o) It sounds heavenly - if your not trying to lose a few pounds ready for the holiday!What a fabulous area to live in - I bet you are much happier with those choices than what you had before if it was a bit run down? Mmmmmm - ice cream.................
