It's Snack-Time (Salt vs Sugar)

Salty mostly,but since ive been out of the hospital and dont/cant smoke anymore, the sweets have been calling me. Krispy kreme donuts,vanilla ice cream with hot brownies or cc cookies fresh out of the oven,yummmmmy! I'm also pretty lucky that I can eat any and all things and as much as I want.(if anyone remembers I've been trying like crazy to gain weight since hospital,im in low 120's now). I usually go thru about a dozen and a halk krispy kremes a week,I know i know sounds sickening but its not heehee.

I know the feeling. When I got out of the hospital I was 118, now after almost 4 months, I'm pushing 160. All due to....you guessed it sweets. Specifically those damn, delicious, moist chocolate chip cookies!!! Of course while making this post what is before my eyes? 3 of those demon spawn cookies just screaming for me to eat them.

DonDiego will enjoy an early evening morsel of chocolate accompanied by a cup of coffee, . . . as long as he can afford it.

From the WallStreetJournal :

"Cocoa prices hit a 32-year high this week as political violence flared in Ivory Coast.
Prices have rallied 37% since Ivory Coast's disputed Nov. 28 election that set off the crisis. The internationally recognized president, Alassane Ouattara, has banned exports of cocoa to squeeze his incumbent rival from power. The most actively traded contract, for May delivery, hit $3,775 a metric ton Friday before settling at $3,657 a ton.




Arabica coffee hit its highest level since May 1977 on Friday, on underlying concerns about the availability of quality beans this season and next year. Coffee for May delivery settled at $2.7280 a pound."
