After an ass kicking emotional week, I needed some big diversions.
Homemade ice cream and salted chocolate caramels were the thing, but never one to leave well enough alone, some berries would be good too, and perhaps some caramel
sauce, and nuts?
Why not a soup?
Oh, and Freyja needs a bath after all that berry picking, and there is vacuuming to be done, and shopping at three stores and, and, and. I just really needed not to think about work any more.
So there was the diversion I needed.
Everything went well, until one of my crowns came off a back tooth. If you know me at all, you know I have a deep fear of losing my teeth, I am a compulsive tooth brusher, so while it didn't hurt, it was a big source of anxiety having a missing crown. My dentist phoned me back at 8:00pm and promised to squeeze me in on Monday. He talked me down very sweetly and I managed not to freak out, too much.

| I highly recommend inviting young people to dinner, then forcing them into hard labor. |

| is it possible to have too much desert? |
