I’ve been pretty successful until this week in keeping away from treats, but my husband’s commute buddy gave him a plate of cookies and fudge that is slowly being consumed – faster by me than by him, of course.

A box of chocolate truffles went directly to the staff meetings and potluck, where they were swiftly consumed.

Luckily others gave small jars of jam – those are much easier to avoid since we don’t keep any bread or rolls in the house to use them on, and they are great for regifting.

Another neighbor left me a box of tangerines, and I already had my own supply, so those I took to the nursing home unit at my medical center for the staff and residents.
