A Long Half Week and a World Wide Sugar Tour

Is it seriously only Wednesday?  I feel this week has already been much too long.  Pardon my complaining, but in the past 3 days between Danny and me we have had one fender bender, one broken phone that cost more than it's worth to fix, a new job, one nerve wracking discussion with one's boss, a couple of tearful nights and a few college papers to write. I'll keep it a mystery on which events were experienced by whom, but man has it been stressful.  I've also come to realize this is not the week to be on a sugar fast.  Anyway, after work today I crashed on the couch and woke up a couple hours later.  I was exhausted, but hooray for having a couch I can actually sleep on now.  There's my silver lining.

Speaking of the sugar fast, I'd be willing to stop such nonsense to try one of these lovely desserts, especially if I could visit the countries they are from while enjoying such delicacies.  I've now added this dessert world tour to my life bucket list.  I shared this website with my friend Brittany and we dreamed (over gchat) of traveling and eating, to help get my mind off of the "learning experiences" from the past few days.  Brittany came up with the fabulous idea of having our own show on the Food Network of us traveling to new countries and learning about their culture through the consuming of their desserts.  Doesn't that sound charming?!  Our husbands are invited to accompany us, since this is a dream.  Food Network people, this idea is copyrighted, because I said so, contact me and Brittany if you're interested...

Alajores, from South America.  I've actually had these before, but not
while visiting their native land, so it is on my bucket list to try.
