Sugar regret
Don't you hate when you're not even partly through a sweet and regret sets in? The pleasure half-life lasts roughly four seconds. So I was eating this miniature chocolate-covered donut and by the second bite I was no longer interested.
The chocolate was brown-colored wax. Minimal taste, fake texture. No bling whatsoever.
The culprit: Tastykake donuts. I think you can buy like 400 of these things for $2.99. But don't quote me on that.
Someone brought an entire box into the office and left them in the kitchen, otherwise known as the home for unwanted sweets. Dessert foundlings.
If only my office weren't eight steps from the kitchen. If only I weren't so fussy. If only I weren't too lazy to go out and forage for some good sugar. It's not like Dupont Circle (Washington, DC) lacks for amazing treats.
Just out the north exit of the Dupont Circle metro, you can get the absolute best brownie in all of Washington, DC at Marvelous Market (www.marvelousmarket.com). This is not a dainty sweet. It's like a deep rich chocolate brick, packing a serious wallop, and sure to keep you happy for hours. I would not, however, advise eating the entire thing in one gobble. Just up Connecticut Avenue and to the left, I love the ginger scone at Teaism (www.teaism.com), which has heavenly bits of candied ginger inside and is served with butter and apricot jam. Just east of Dupont Circle, and a nice walk if you've been indulging heavily, the yellow dip cupcake at Cake Love cafe (www.cakelove.com) has a divine chocolate frosting and a nice dense cake.
Kind of amazing I even make it to work some days, considering all the other things to do around the office.
