Speculoos Secret Stash
Regular readers of this blog will already know the story about my crippling speculoos addiction, how I was unable to control myself and the long, difficult struggle I went through to become a normal and productive member of society once again. I have been clean for several months now and no longer find myself under the control of its delicious goodness. My life is back to normal.
Or at least I thought it was until I recently discovered this in our kitchen:
Speculoos Secret Stash
Ok. I know I ‘maybe’ sometimes over exaggerate the whole speculoos addiction thing in the name of comedy (the stuff is just so damn amazing) but I honestly have no idea how this happened. I’m not intentionally hording the stuff.
I am serious. I didn’t even know that they were there. It was only while rummaging through one of the kitchen cupboards recently that I discovered this stock pile scattered amongst the other breakfast goods, hidden behind the tea bags, cereal and hagelslag.
They are not half empty either. They’re all full. This is the kind of obsessive compulsive addiction hording behaviour that would put a crack addict to shame. How many more jars might I have hidden around the house without even realizing? Did I hijack a delivery truck while in some kind of speculoos induced haze?
This isn’t everything either. There is even speculoos ice cream in the freezer and biscuits in the biscuit tin. This is not a joke any more. I really do need help.
Are you sure it’s you that has the addiction, Stu……..?
The recipe book you bought me for my Birthday has a recipe for SPECULOOS biscuits. So on your next visit guess what I’ll be making.
At least you’ve come face to face with your addiction. Now that you’ve moved past denial you can start to work on overcoming this. The key, I have found, is to move on to another {slightly less destruction} addiction. I moved from being addicted to Coca-Cola to Earl Grey tea. I’m thinking I’m doing pretty good {5+ cups a day…woohoo!}
