But, I can’t do that! My mommy says I have to eat all my veggables first.
The truth is, I would have room for dessert if I wouldn’t:
ORDER THE DANG APPETIZER EVERYTIME!!!
I hate to interrupt all this eat dessert first stuff, but I have a sort of dilemma that I need advice on…today while mowing the lawn (since our holiday weekend plans to go visit a friend in Tallahassee were thwarted by Frances), we found a baby bunny in a shallow-dug “nest” in the middle of the back yard. He’s all alone. We found him around 11:30 this morning. We went out for lunch and a few errands and got back around 5:00. I went outside and he’s still there, all alone. Should I just let him be and hope that his momma comes for him? We’re gonna be gettin some serious rain here pretty soon and I’m worried about him. Any one of you ever “adopt” a wild baby bunny? What should I do? Poor baby bunny!
Well, after some internet research, I realize that the bunny probably doesn’t need my help at all. The momma will come back in the middle of the night to feed him. I laid some pinestraw in a pattern over the nest (just like the website said), and I’ll check it tomorrow to see if it has been disturbed. If so, then the momma came to feed him during the night. He looked plump and healthy, so I think he’s probably just fine.
whew! thank goodness for the webbernet.

But… but… appetizers are the best part of the meal.
I have actually been known to go to a restaurant and order several appetizers plus maybe a dessert for my meal. Yum.
And lots of appetizers are veggies–potato skins, onion rings/blocks/buds, guacamole, stuffed mushrooms, grilled roma tomatos with feta cheese and oregano, marinated asparagus spears, etc. etc., etc. So eat an appetizer, then dessert, then have a main course if you must. The main course makes the best leftovers anyway.
The menu for Sunday night (birthday dinner): Perfectly seasoned prime rib, just a tad past rare and juicy as all get-out, handmade ravioli stuffed with beef and cheese, with a marinara meat sauce to die for, a crisp green salad, garlic bread, steamed broccoli (or maybe asparagus), green beens sauted with bacon ('cuz some folks don’t like broccoli, and I don’t like green beens, much), and orange sherbert jello salad (a luscious holdover from the '70’s–orange jello with whipped cream and orange sherbert blended in, and mandrin orange slices, yum). For dessert, either a white or yellow layer cake (four layers, to be exact) with chocolate buttercream frosting, or a National Velvet cake (four layer dark chocolate with a cocoa-whipped cream frosting), and neopolitan ice cream.
I won’t eat dessert first, but the cake stays with me, so I’ll probably have a second piece before I go to bed. And then again for breakfast.
If I don’t get a chance to post again tonight, I’ll try to check in sometime next week, and thanks for all the good thoughts.
Why not a restaraunt that serves only appetizers and desserts? Now that would appeal to my inner child… 
Sometimes I order an appetizer as my meal, I just ask the server to bring it as an entree.
I can’t remember the last time I ordered dessert, though. Generally if hubby orders a dessert, I nibble one bite and call it good.
Sounds pretty good. Wish we could help you to eat it. BTW, Ivylass’s birthday is Sunday, too, and she’s getting a hurricane for her birthday present. Poor thing. I’ll keep good thoughts for the lot of you.
