Brownies

From wikipedia.org we read the following concerning brownies:

"A brownie or chocolate brownie is an American invented dessert or snack food: a semi-flat square or bar, made with chocolate and baked in a sheet pan, something like a dense chocolate cake. Brownies' density ranges from fudgey to cake-like. They may feature a variety of toppings and ingredients such as frosting, nuts, cream cheese, and chocolate chips. Brownies are common lunchbox fare, typically eaten out of hand, and often accompanied by milk or coffee. They are sometimes served warm with ice cream or topped with whipped cream, especially in restaurants."

Our apartment has been mercifully blessed to receive a plate of brownies from a different apartment of girls the past two Sundays, thus indicating a perfect record of 2-for-2 since the new semester began. As we returned home last night, we wondered what fate might deal us come our 3rd Sunday. Is it too ambitious to hope for a 3rd plate of brownies? Would that be unreasonable? Unsure of how to approach the situation, we went to bed with great anticipation.

The brownies are not what is important. What's important is the concept of wonderful food given to us. In all of its glorious, varying, and beautiful forms, we are gladly willing to accept such blessings. With such an understanding, we are glad to report that we were extended a lunch invitation for 2:00 today from some girls we sat next to in church.

3 Sundays down . . . 3 occasions of free food. 3-for-3.

P.S. Please recognize the difference between what is going on here with us and what was spoken of by Elder Oaks: "Don't make it easy for young men to hang out in a setting where you women provide the food. Don't subsidize freeloaders. An occasional group activity is OK, but when you see men who make hanging out their primary interaction with the opposite sex, I think you should lock the pantry and bolt the front door."

Thank you for understanding.
