Last week I was so stoked about my Brazilian cooking class. The food was fabulous. But I was suddenly yanked from cloud 9 later that evening when I returned home mere minutes before my husband; he sighed a wonderfully satisfied sigh and showed me his dinner menu. Before I could even gloat, I had been outdone by the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York and their 34th Annual Tribute Dinner. Slighted again by yet another corporate function. Is the grass really greener? Which menu would you pick?

Nah.

Avocado Creme Brulee vs Thin Mint Chocolate Molten Cake... Sorry, I think I'd go with the Girl Scouts on this one.
Miss You,

Ha ha! I knew that's what you'd pick :)
