Budgets always welcome leftovers even if the children aren’t happy about it. One evening an unpopular casserole was on the menu. It hadn’t received rave notices the first time out and I knew what it’s reception would be for the finale. To sweeten the meal-time purgatory, I made a favorite dessert. The scent of spice cake permeated the house and the children crowded happily around the dinner table. When I placed the plates of leftover casserole before the children, one child turned to the other and said, “I knew there was a reason for this dessert!”
(From my memory book!)
