Extra Credit Opportunity

   Similarly to our last assessment, you can earn 2 points extra credit for posting under THE PLAYBOOK (NOT under this post).

   Last time, we went breakfast...we'll go the opposite this time:  Dessert!  Tell us your absolute favorite dessert, in 3 words or less (and no creatively liberal use of hyphens either!).  Good luck tomorrow!  If you are familiar with the items and concepts on the playbook, and were paying attention in our review activity in class today, you should be ready and there shouldn't be any surprises.
