The Internet, Where We All Learn From Each Other

Sometimes the information learned is substantial and thought-provoking. Sometimes it's less earth shattering, but still important.

This morning after breakfast I learned on a forum that December 8th is National Brownie Day. A couple of hours later Catalyst at Oddball Observations offered the same news. After two mentions how could I not act on the information?

Before dinner I had to run to the grocery store. In addition to the items on my list a large frosted brownie from the bakery department added itself to my bag. Although I could have made a whole pan for the price of the slice, there are only two of us in the house. I knew that if I made a pan way too many of those brownies would find their way into my mouth, so buying a pre-made one was my way of exhibiting some portion control.

Dinner was a clean-out-the refrigerator main dish salad with chopped napa cabbage, roasted sweet potatoes and freekeh, tossed with a honey lime vinaigrette with hints of garlic and jalapeno and topped with chopped cashews. Hubby Tony plated and served. He also carbonated some water and made a pot of decaf coffee to go with the star of the show dessert.

All was good.
