The Invasion of the One Point Cheesecake
Last Friday no one on our staff had seen a one point cheesecake, much less tasted one. Today, less than a week later, they are the talk of the staff room. I am highly amused.
As I mentioned last Friday, I went out to Reid's Dairy on the recommendation of a teacher on the WW program and bought half a dozen low-cal cheesecakes. They were surprisingly tasty for 56 calories and 0.6 g. of fat and by Monday I only had two left to take in to the two women on staff who had been asking me if I'd tried them yet. Alice was away on Monday morning, but Jamie was there, so I gave her a key lime cheesecake. It was a hit.
Alice arrived in the next morning and got her raspberry cheesecake, too. She became an immediate fan. Had to laugh when Jamie arrived in my room at lunch yesterday to hand me a key lime cheesecake, saying she had gone to Reid's Dairy and bought a bunch of cheesecakes of her own. Seems she passed out her collection to more staff members, who also became immediate addicts.
This morning at recess there were two more teachers in the staff room eating "cheater cheesecakes" (as John calls them). Seems they'd gone in search of them after school last night. More teachers around the table took interest. The teachers with cheesecakes in hand gave rave reviews and passed out bites to interested parties. There are three more teachers on staff saying they are going after one point cheesecakes tonight. Reid's Dairy at Yonge and Weldrick isn't going to know what hit it, as their low-cal cheesecakes are now the "dessert du jour" of a staff that is hot and easily amused and slaving away at report cards and counting down the days to the end of the school year.
Jamie tells me she also found a chocolate low-cal cheesecake at Reid's. I missed that flavour the first time around so I may have to head back to Reid's myself and try it out. That is if the rest of the staff leaves a single cheater cheesecake there to be found.
I may regret that I gave away such a yummy dessert secret!
Exercise log: After a walk through Earl Bales Park last night, I'm at 185 miles and still slogging through the Midgewater Marshes.
