Nutella for what ails ye

Nutella and crackers!

Eaten by the glow of my flatscreen monitor conveniently located on my bedstand.
My rolling bedstand with the retractable shelf I use for keyboards.
Decadence? Nah. A remedy for a terrible night's sleep and a day spent hustling about, attempting to get my ducks in a row.

Nutella is one of my very favourite things.
When I was a young child growing up, my family had a property with many trees on it.
There was always a bountiful harvest come late summer/fall.
We had two mature hazelnut trees in our front yard, along the border between our property and the neighbours. They were magnificent! The tree boughs bent over the sidewalk in graceful arches. We could climb the trees and sit on the overhanging branches, and shake showers of brown nuts down to waiting grasping hands. It was a good time.

Only as an adult did I discover the creamy hazelnut and chocolate spread that now decorates my bedspread in smears. I bought it by accident. Happy, wonderful, divine accident.
mmmm!!

There are many delectable ways in which to use Nutella.
I can think of one excellent one RIGHT now that has a dim liklihood of happening.

Meantime, pass the crackers.
