listening to: noche de sexo by wisin y yandel ft. aventura.
taking a break from the studying, i was craving something a little sweet and true to my diet, settled for some vibrant tropical fruits instead. as my family has now realised just how serious i am about losing weight, the fridge has been removed of all sweets (other than that freshly baked key lime tart) and shelves have been stocked up and piled high with an immense and vividly-coloured abundant supply of fruit and vegetables, also accompanied by wholewheat bread and skim milk.
the delicate fruits never fail to disappoint and make an excellent, if not better, replacement for those less-than-healthy tidbits i've been extremely tempted by. it's the best thing to have a supportive family when going through these tough times like this. brings to mind those AA meetings: "hi. my name is dee and it's been 8 months since i last drank soda or ate any chips".

margaret and this leads up to my basic topic of today, which is food. this is due to the fact i'm inspired by what transpired in my kitchen just now, namely me whipping up another storm in there. i've decided to fuse the two together; food and pretty pictures, to bring you today's mouth watering, drool-inducing, eye-popping picture post. if i can't enjoy it, at least i can
dream of enjoying these decadent and sinfully sweet bites:
