<p>I’ll be back later for cheese and fig preserves and crackers and wine, you can bet on it!</p>
<p>:: operates under the “eat dessert first” rule ::</p>
<p>A good cheese plate IS dessert. The savory course. </p>
<p>I think there are a few cookies left over from last night: layer of sugar cookie dough topped by layer of choc choc chip cookie dough topped by layer of peanut butter cookie dough topped by choc chip cookie dough. The remains got hidden in the garage freezer, otherwise they’d have been eaten for breakfast. Let me know, and I can go dig them out.</p>
<p>^^^ Please let them defrost, and call me when they are room temperature.</p>
<p>Son just left after family birthday celebration. He asked for this key lime pie, and now there’s 3/4 of it sitting here! It’s especially good - and made in a springform pan so you don’t lose half the crumb crust digging it out of a pie plate. Help yourselves, it’s on the top shelf in the fridge. If you get a slice with a birthday candle please keep it to yourself that we have a child who is this old!</p>
<p>Here ya go, VeryHappy. I’m just going to go over to the fridge and grab a slice of that key lime pie to munch on while I watch the Simpsons.</p>
