Oooohhh what is my guilty pleasure? I think we all have those smaller ones, like a piece of chocolate (i like mine dark and creamy...).
I would say mine is coffee and cake.. I LOVE going out for coffee and cake. My Mother and I used to go quite often when i was in high school. If we went out shopping we would stop for a coffee and cake. Sometimes if we wanted lunch we would share a sandwhich.. then share a cake. I definitely inherited my insatiable sweet tooth from my Mother!
Then when I met my husband some of our early dating revolved around coffee and cake. I would often meet him after work and we would head to a cafe to share a bit of cake. We would talk for hours as other patrons came and went.
The guilt comes from consuming the calorie laden delight. I tend to gravitate towards chocolate concoctions or tangy lemon varieties.The pleasure comes from the company that this is shared with. This is truly a guilty pleasure that is best shared. You talk and talk between mouthfuls of the sweet treat and warm brew.
I don't have this guilty pleasure as much anymore. Life gets busy and it is hard to find that time to grab. However, when i really want to be decadent and have a great chat, my go to is always a bit of cake.
As a matter a fact... i think i may just head off to have some guilty pleasure today...
