Aftermath

As I am sure will have become apparent, I failed. My chocolate-free Lent lasted two weeks, and ended ignominiously with a bar of Lindt Excellence Milk bought in a convenience store near Baron's Court Tube station. I'm not particularly good at dealing with failure, so I decided to just disappear and pretend that it had never happened.

But the reality is that the fight goes on. Even if I didn't manage to give up chocolate, I did manage to give up chocolate chip cookies - I didn't even make a batch of those until the weekend before last (and I used Cote d'Or chocolate, which was on special offer somewhere or other, but was still a mistake. Because of the way that they emboss the elephants on it, it splits when you try to chop it so that you end up with thin flakey bits rather than chunks). I resisted the 1/3 off Galaxies in Waitrose this morning, and am now planning on attempting the Nigella white chocolate mint shots for supper tomorrow night. With some extra white chocolate which I bought this morning, having already eaten the batch which I bought on Thursday...
