I have no willpower. After eating healthy foods most of yesterday, I succumbed to the apple dumpling with vanilla bean ice cream and crunchy pecan topping, last night. I think I could have said no but Lynn said he would split it with me. That makes it his fault.

We started the evening meal with a bowl of pinto beans. The waitress asked if we wanted relish with our beans. I had never heard of such a thing and asked her why we would want them. She said she would bring some relish so we could see how good a spoonful of beans with a little taste of relish could be. She was right. I wonder if it is a southern thing.
