Life is like a box of chocolates, you sometimes over-indulge, scoff the lot and then regret you had the box of chocolates.
I know at least one ex-acquaintance who became rather wealthy, but lost it all due to his own ‘greed’ (his own word). I admire his honesty but not something you should talk about or even boast about as he seemed to be doing. Mind you it proves my point doesn’t it? But the following is a better example.
I made the huge mistake of buying 2 cylindrical containers (excuse the scientific pedantry here) of tubular biscuits from Amazon yesterday, and to be frank they are probably the most delicious biscuits I’ve ever tasted.
They were intended to accompany the orange mousse I have made for my neighbours both sides when they come over tomorrow for roast lunch. I attach the menu for you to peruse.
Unfortunately, I decided to try one. It is at this point the concerned and altruistic reader may wish to discontinue reading this update, as I have no rational explanation for what happened to me next.
These things are outrageously moreish, I would call them dangerously addictive in fact, probably on the same level of heroin or cocaine.
I managed to scoff them all in matter of hours, with now only a few bits at the bottom which I had promised myself I would save for my dear guests arriving tomorrow.
Needless to say this will be simply insufficient to go with the orange mousse, but hold on I just remembered I have another cylindrical container of these morsels of delight, but in a different flavour.
I must now try one to see what they are like……
An amusing story. Have you tried writing stories?
Thanks, not really. Yes maybe I’ll give it a go some day.
