On what I am thankful for

I don't know if you know this, but Thanksgiving is a few days away. Regardless of the fact that Medicare doesn't believe in holidays, I do. And I'm working on Saturday just so I can eat and sleep and watch football and be thankful for delicious stuffing. I write this to you as something very delicious is baking in my oven. Something that smells so magical my mind is hardly able to think of anything else.

What is this magical thing? Chocolate baked mousse. Now, maybe you've never had mousse before.  Maybe you don't know in the hierarchy of desserts, it is king. It eats pies for breakfast, stomps on pudding, and laughs at cakes (even the cup kind). I love desserts. But I just don't understand desserts that don't have chocolate. Let me illustrate my feelings.

Don't get me wrong. There are outliers (see above) but in the grand scheme of things, the less chocolate it has the less it is worth eating to me.  Apple pie? Delicious. But if I eat it, it's going to be one of my fruits and vegetables for the day.

In conclusion, my chocolate baked mousse may not be the best thing I've ever made. It may be not fluffy at all. I may just end up as a blob.  But at least it will be a blob of chocolate. And for that, I am thankful.
