The birthday girl had one wish for her twenty fifth year: twenty five desserts.
When I first heard the idea, I thought "yeah right."
But she was very serious. God bless her.
So sugar makes us very very happy. Especially when it's berry frosting atop a chocolate cupcake from this dessert shop.
She did it! ALL she ate on her birthday, this past friday, was desserts.
I was glad to help. WHAT--you expected me to just watch...what is it they say about friends in need? I know they say something about friends in need.
Shanika's rule was that she had to taste twenty five desserts. Eating everything in entirety was not a requirement, which was good because by early evening I believe I saw something like pain on her face. Please don't try that at home ever ever. Instead here's a little of the madness if you'd like to live vicariously:
I am impressed.
And she still had room for one last sugar surprise when some friends got together for dinner last night:
Good times!
CUTE.
Quick, here are three blogs I'm lovin' recently:
- The Token Fat Girl: She gave up sugar for 2011! In case you missed it, I gave up Chinese.
- Josie's discussion on Compulsive Overeating: "Real Disorder or Lack of Willpower?"
- This beet recipe. I wanna be brave enough...
Gotta shower, hit gym, yadda yadda TOO MUCH TO DO Sunday!

Thanks Melissa! It was a challenge but I enjoyed it and Alexia and my other friend were sooo supportive in my apparently crazy endeavor.
