Week Wrap-up and Dessert of the Day

Last Sunday Beard-O and I went to the Caribbean Street Festival to check out the vendors and such. We picked up this great painting from Uganda done on bark. The festival seemed a lot smaller than the other years and since we don't live across the street from where it's held anymore we didn't stay for the shows. I watched the last half of the Spain vs. Holland game and was excited Spain won (mostly because they were my team in the soccer pool). YAY SPAIN!

I finally finally finally went to see a naturopath and since seeing her I have started a cleansing diet to see what I may be allergic too. Above is some of the food I will be consuming over the next month. No wheat, no soy, no dairy. NO FUN! I feel so awful for people that can't have Penne Alfredo and HOPE I can enjoy it again soon. And cake! Ice cream cake for my birthday is off the menu which I am very sad about! But it's all for the greater good! Or so I try to tell myself as I pass the ice cream aisle...

In almost a dessert-free frenzy due to the cleanse I was frantically trying to find things to replace my daily sweets (dark chocolate is a-okay) so I attempted to try and make this
They turned out fine. The chocolate part was a little bitter for my taste. Maybe if I followed the recommendation for peppermint oil...
