I've eaten so much sugar/sugary things over the last few weeks that I've ended u with a sugar belly.
It's not the first time I've had this, I doubt it will be the last either. It started with that bl**y topping I was using on my morning coffee. I'd been craving and craving sugar. I bought some own brand Sugar Puffs, and I managed to eat loads of them. The combination of the refreshing cold milk and the honey topping on the Puffs was irresistable.
And then I had a french recipe for a Honey Cake. I sourced some french Four Spice seasoning, which is Pepper, Ginger, Nutmeg and Cloves It smelled divine. The recipe also required a lot of oranges for zesting, and the first time I tried to make it I had a dodgy orange which ruined the whole batch of zest.
Eventually I had all the ingredients, and I made it. It was lovely. The texture was reminiscent of McVities Jamaica Ginger Cake, and the flavour was much more complex. It was instantly addictive, and I ate most of the whole loaf 0 slice by thin slice - myself. (Here's the recipe, in case you are interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w0ZINH5CtQ
Once I'd got hooked on to sugar, I found myself eating the white cooking chocolate while waiting for a cup of tea, ad opening and devouring a packet of M&S jaffa cakes (I so love those) in one go. And hiding the empty box deep in the rubbish.
Even now, while I'm typing about it, I'm craving something - anything - sugary.
I'll have to cut it out completely until my body can re-set itself.
Hopefully then the swelling will go down.
