Sometimes my brother makes me mad

[nomad100]

We are hosting Easter dinner tomorrow.  Brother offered to make dessert.  One less thing for me to make.  Fabulous!  Thank you!

All I asked that the dessert not have nuts in it.  Not because I have allergies but because I hate nuts.  Always have (it's a texture and flavor thing) and he knows it.  He even said, "that's right you hate nuts."  So he texts me this evening and what is he bringing?  Homemade pecan bars. 

Are you kidding me?

I had SO been looking forward to a tasty dessert since he usually makes great stuff.  DH and I have been dieting since January and have been so good about staying on track including skipping desserts (I don't even have an emergency chocolate stash in the pantry anymore).  I had been hoarding my WW points this week and everything.  So it looks like no dessert for me tomorrow unless I go to the store and get something else or make something myself. 

Sometimes I swear he does this shit on purpose.

I can almost guarentee that he's "forgetting" from the perspective that pecans aren't called "nuts" - as in peanut, walnut, hazelnut.

We have a friend who has severe allergies to nuts.  DH actually once took a pecan pie to his house.  Just totally  flaking on the "nut" aspect of it. 

Go buy yourself a dessert and enjoy it!  And trust me- I HEAR you on nuts.  I actually can eat certain nuts on their own, but I hate, hate, hate any kind of nut in any kind of dessert.

I am ok with nuts but I hear you on the pecan nut bars.  I'm no fan of pecan either.

Maybe this was a sign to keep up your hard work with the diet and continue ignoring dessert. Keep saving your points for something MUCH better than pecan bars.

(had to edit b/c I thought you had wrote pecan pie)

I would be disappointed too. Can you just pick up another dessert..something that you can enjoy?

I would make some incredible dessert for everyone as a giant fuck you to his pecan bars. But I am spiteful like that.

Make your own dessert.

I am planning on sending DH to the store tomorrow morning while I work on the ham and other fixings. I am thinking chocolate pie! Chocolate makes everything better, right? I won't have time to make anything tomorrow.

And no, I don't think that bro was thinking it would keep me on my diet. He doesn't pay that much attention.

On the plus side, DH is down 30 lbs and I am down 20 in the last 12 weeks. Guess the lack of desserts has been working!
