I try to avoid sugar and things with added sugar as much as possible because I have periodontitis. Aside from tooth decay, I simply can’t stand how the film sugary food leaves on my teeth feels. This includes pastas and bread based foods. That said, I made candied bacon for my beau and I this morning and it was very tasty.
As a child I was more or less addicted to sugar. My favorite thing was eating straight brownie batter without eggs. Made a point to overcome the sugar cravings as an adult. I don’t get cravings much these days, but I keep dark salted caramel chocolates in my fridge for an occasional post meal treat. I usually only have one. Any other time I splurge is typically related to social gatherings and holidays. Or if I happen to eat at a chinese buffet with tiramisu mmmmmm
My beau likes to have small sips of coke with meals, which I have started doing since we began dating four years ago. There is something about it that makes a meal feel complete. I only do that when we eat together though, which is mostly on weekends with occasional midweek dinners.
How’s my oversharing? lol
