Always Take the Apple

Do you like these ribs better than the ones we normally prepare? How about this asparagus? Was it better grilled this way or the way we do it on the stove? Did you like the biscuits? What kind of homemade jam would you like on them?

These questions were absolutely perplexing me at dinner this evening. My dear husband had prepared a wonderful banquet, my son provided cheerful banter. I was slightly exhausted from a nine-hour day of true delight. (And I really mean that – not being snarky on this one! I love it when it’s this busy and fun!) However, I was exhausted. All I could really think of was my one travel habit.

“Always take the apple the hotel offers at the front desk.”
