Doesn't this look like one of those "food porn" shots you see on the front of women's magazines (next to all the "5 ways to shed 40 pounds in 5 minutes" story promos)?

It's actually my "birthday cake"--tomorrow's the Big Day Whose Number Shall Not Be Named.

So to splurge I ordered some "Pecan Bark" from Maine Cottage Foods--I'd never tried their low-carb chocolate before--maltitol free and high-fiber. I've always been a fan of the Chocoperfection bars but this is WAY better. And only 1.9 net carbs for a huge chunk. This is now my all-time-favorite LC chocolate. Not cheap but a nice splurge.

Tonight friends are taking me for steak.

Steak and chocolate! Does it get any better?
