I'm a Binger, but sadly not a Purger.

Last week's binge was coffee.
Yup.
Coffee.
That stuff I don't drink.

I made a pot for my girlfriend Cathy, who was in from Calgary. and discovered that I had a container of "International Delight Fat Free Hazelnut Creamer" in the fridge.

I don't recall purchasing this container of sweet and creamy goodness, and thought what luck! when I discovered that there seemed to be no expiry date.

I wonder which part of this nectar called "International Delight Fat Free Hazelnut Creamer" contains the magical ingredient that keeps this stuff from going bad.
I think it's in the "Delight".

Anyhow, I drank pot after pot for 6 days and now that I've polished off the IDFFHC, and have promised myself to never buy it again, I must move on to something new.

I'm making a good effort on the eating front, so I'm back on the Black Bean Salad... here's the recipe incase you are in need of a new, healthy binge item.

That's assuming I'm not the only binger out there.
You know who you are.
No one's here to judge.
