MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is it called “dessert”?
We’ve all enjoyed a delicious dessert in our lives. But where does the word actually come from?
Dessert actually derives from the French term desservir which means “to clear the table”. The term was first used in 1539 and was referring to delicate fruits and nuts which were served to guests at dinner parties back then after the grand main meal was over. Once the “table was cleared”.

Today marks the start of “Would You Rather” Monday’s! Which of these two options would you rather choose?
Raven’s Pet Pals – Meet Mayflower!
Mayflower is a social and petite 3-year-old pit bull terrier mix who’s eager to be part of a doting family. She came to an animal shelter as part of a cruelty case and is looking forward to better days ahead. She’s still quite a bit underweight but is sure to gain and heal in a stable home. Mayflower has plenty of energy for whatever you want to do. She could be a great walking buddy, play time partner or springtime adventure friend. Mayflower also likes to cuddle and give kisses so would make a great chill time companion too. She likes other dogs but can sometimes be a bit bossy and opinionated so would probably do best as a solo pet. She’s going to flourish in a home willing to give her lots of attention and help her on her journey of healing.
For more information on Mayflower or other pets up for adoption, you can visit PAWS at their website pawsct.org
