Obesity is now killing triple the number of people who die from malnutrition........billions of pounds of fat will be packed on between Thanksgiving and the day after New Years Day......

"back of the refrigerator bin cleanout" provided some mushy raspberries, some dehydrating blueberries and a cup of giant 'not very sweet' blackberries.....Not one to toss potential meal materials away, I pureed the 'last days' fruit, added some cognac, left in a goblet on the dining table, and the last of the Grand Marnier....whisking in some toasted almond slices, powdered and grated coconut 'flour', powdered cinnamon bark, some sour milk and half a cup of pancake mix.....thereby, producing a crispy-edged skillet cake in a shallow lake of browning, unsalted butter.....then, dabbed with blueberry preserves........This is what Java is 'for'......make that a double!
