If I want something sweet I share a dessert with DH while out to dinner or I buy some expensive chocolate and ration it out to myself. That junk food just does not appeal to me. I bake once or twice a month for the fire station, but not any more than that. I will bake for Thanksgiving and holidays as well. DH buys that junk and eats it, I shun it. I will not buy it for him, either.

(OK...full disclosure: I was stressed beyond reason...my heart kept racing (PACs really). I spent a day or two eating butterfingers around Halloween recently. It didn’t really help my stress but the sugar high gave me momentary relief. ;^) Butterfingers and I have since called off our affair. No bitterness, no regrets.)

Oh, I do love the taste of dark, barely-sweet chocolate once in a blue moon-when I have that lust, I get a mini-bar of Russell Stover sugar free dark chocolate, and enjoy it very, very slowly, like good wine...

Just about the only thing I bake is bread for my use and for barter with neighbors for fresh eggs, honey, etc.
