St. Francisville, Louisiana
At my cousin Ava’s birthday party this afternoon. I couldn’t resist the juxtaposition of the glorious cupcake tree with all that healthy food behind it. I ate one of the coconut cupcakes. I could have eaten 10, they were so good. I didn’t dare try the lemon, for fear of where that kind of indulgence might lead. 
JonF says: But it’s almost our Lent– surely you can indulge now and repent in beans and celery later 
Helen says: I love the chubby arm and hand in the background.
Lord Karth says: Mr. Dreher writes: “. I didn’t dare try the lemon, for fear of where that kind of indulgence might lead.”
You turned down lemon cupcakes ? What is the matter with you ?? Do you want your next confession(if Orthodox have that sacrament or equivalent) to be a total waste of time ?
You disappoint me, Mr. Dreher. Sometimes you’ve just got to man up, go out there, and take some for the team !
Your servant,
Lord Karth
I can pass up raw veggies and dip at the speed of light. But Happy Birthday to your cousin.
