Just Desserts

(Note: since this blog serves to instruct, it should be noted that the correct English phrase is just deserts.)

Today was the annual bake sale at the church. In recent years, with an eye toward elevated blood sugar readings, I had simply given a ten-spot to the ladies (no, the men never brought anything) and went home empty handed. Today I gave in to temptation and filled a small brown bag with sweetmeats.

I also had a piece of pie and coffee and sat down with the aforementioned ladies to discuss the goings-on at the parish. Decades ago I disdained people who went to church for the gossip and food during coffee hour. Lo and behold, I have become them.

This time I paid twenty bucks. It was worth every penny.
