Yes, it’s come down to this. I’m posting the recipe for tonight’s dinner. To my credit, these are very delicious. And at least it’s not another post of me complaining how hard it is to write something every day.
Cheers.

From “The Tao Of Poker”
Rule 79: In the whole poker process, the least stable part is the player.
The true glitch in the system is the human element. The weak link in the chain is us. Everything else is pretty well scripted and defined. The hands you should (and shouldn’t) play, starting cards, stats, rules, probabilities, and best plays are all well known, tagged, and identified. The loose cannon in the process is the player. Therefore this is the part we have to work on and get under control.
Easiest dessert in the world…

…but no one has to know.
Strawberries in Brown Sugar Balsamic Vinegar
1 pint strawberries
2-3 T brown sugar, packed
2-3 T (same amount as brown sugar) balsamic vinegar
Vanilla ice cream or vanilla frozen yogurt
Wash, hull and slice strawberries. Combine the vinegar and brown sugar in a small sauce pan. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue heating until syrup starts to boil, then reduce heat, but continue boiling until syrup thickens a bit. Continue stirring occasionally while you’re doing all this heating.

I think it’s important to remember failures as much as successes. Focusing on failure is frustrating and depressing, but in the midst of success, it’s easy to forget how difficult it is to master new skills. As adults, I think this tendency can really hinder our learning. We forget how hard learning can be and we’re afraid of looking stupid, so when we’re just starting out, we get overly concerned about not being good at the thing we’re learning.

…of missing yesterday before we move on…today’s post is a good one and there’s no point in mucking that up with my feeling all bad about missing a post (again).
Cheers.
And yet again, nothing…
