Sugar...

I made eight different kinds of cookies for Christmas this year. I even made brownies and chocolate crinkles, without so much as one taste of that wonderful, chocolatey goodness. The cookie making went very well, and I didn't feel at all stressed. I figure it went so well because I wasn't eating any chocolate.
Unfortunately, my poor husband, (and me) found out that I should probably stay away from sugar too. It's not remotely as bad as chocolate, but it isn't a good feeling. It makes me want to eat a handful of raw green beans.
