Sweet Tooth

So my boss brought in a bunch of cut up rhurbarb from his garden and left it on the counter in the staff lunchroom. Said it was for anyone who wanted it. I have a patch of rhurbarb myself so I really had no business taking more from someone else but my rhurbarb was cut and FROZEN. I am keeping it for a time when mine is no more! There's nothing like a rhubarb pie or loaf when it is cold or snowy outside!!

Anyway I took the bundle home with me and since my husband was working I thought I would be domestic and do some baking. Turns out I vegged in front of the t.v. instead until about 9 pm and then noticed my pile of 'work' sitting on the table. Who would know if I did nothing, or even threw it out? You guessed it, I would and I cannot tell a lie if they asked me what I did with the rhurbarb in casual conversation the next day. So, I began the chopping, dicing and mixing and by 10:15 all was done. It smelled wonderful. Mmmmmmmmm

I brought back the empty container to work along with my 9x13 cake for the five of us to share. I had intended on cutting it up into pieces and placing it nicely on a plate but ran out of time in the morning so the whole container came (and went) I might add. It appears that we all have a bit of a sweet tooth here. Or is it that every time you go to the coffee pot or water cooler the cake beckons you? Apparently, it was good.

There is no morale to this story...just calories. I have been good and only had two pieces but apparently there are others who are not 'counting'. Bless them. I feel good at doing what I did. The night was busy and I ended up blessing others in the mix of it all. Tonight I am out for supper and will enjoy someone else's endeavors! However, sometime tonight I will also have to do my magic to my Amish Friendship Loaf which requires me to 'mush the bag' one more time and then add my mixings and divide into 4 for others. It just might have to wait until tomorrow morning for that one. Surely one more evening of 'rising' should not be a problem for the loaf. We'll see. It could turn into another story!
