Sorry for the delay

All berries and stone fruits are very good this week, especially cherries.

Saturday the 18th is National Caviar Day. One tablespoon of caviar is two Points, and for me no temptation as I have always perceived caviar as tasting like a cheap grade of canned sardines mixed with an equal amount of salt. Your mileage may vary. And I’d love to know who promoted this, but the 21st is National Junk Food Day.

The 19th is Sundae Sunday. I’m sure we can all figure some appropriate commemoration.
