I'm not a good Catholic--I know that. But I try. I started off this Lenten season giving up a true love of mine: chocolate. As I was munching on a delicious lemon curd cupcake, Shawn--in not so many words--called me a wimp for giving up chocolate but not
all sweets. He didn't understand where the true sacrifice was. Not wanting to pass up a good challenge, I agreed to give up all sweets and being a wonderful husband, he joined me. I was doing so well...until yesterday. Not even a week from Easter! In my <
weak> defense, I was baking a birthday cake and the request was for "anything chocolate". Excuses.
So as I'm getting the ingredients measured out, my mind can't help but to wonder how much willpower I will have not to lick the bowl, taste the cake, or lick the icing...Then I think, how can I not? I need to quality test and make sure it doesn't taste like sludge-this is a new recipe I'm working with here...So I vow--one little taste and that. is. it. Well...let's just say, I'm not a good Catholic.
The temptation (supposed to be an "N" but the stupid thing won't orient correctly):
I think I can be to blame for tempting you with such a delicious looking "Z"?
ReplyDeleteyours truly,
"N"
I could easily blame you, but let's be real...I only have myself to blame , I have no will power against sweet, sweet chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed...and btw, how did I not know you had a blog?
ReplyDeleteThe cake is cute, and don't worry you tried, and I believe you are still a good catholic :)..now for Lent I gave up all meat including fish..it has been sooooooo hard! I can't wait to eat a burger :P
ReplyDeleteWow--that's a lot to give up! good for you for sticking with it! Just a couple more days now...
