Sweet talker..gimme another bite.

Met two lovely ladies today.

We talked about relationships over iced coffee in see-through plastic cups.

We talked about business.

We talked about the love of my life. My professional life, that is....

Pastries and Desserts.

Main courses are food for the body.

But Desserts are tricky sneakier creatures...

They're food for the Mind. (they don't make you smart, mind you....I wish they did!)


Even though your body is full, you'll always make room for dessert.

Desserts are made pretty and more often nowadays looking like architectural masterpieces.


And although you're already full, your mind tricks you into having "One more slice of that heavenly flour less chocolate cake with the high-gloss chocolate glaze accented with a sliver of gold leaf"

Ah me... my life banks on the gluttony of people. And as a race, we are un-apologetically so.

Who wouldn't say no to a towering chocolate fountain with big luscious ripe red strawberries?...




Even when people say they want low sugar, low carb, low this and that..it still is dessert baby..it's delicious.. it's inviting, in fact that ice cream bar with the home-style vanilla bean ice cream and the bits of crushed oreo, fresh berries and perfectly whipped cream and a shower of almond slices baked to golden perfection just calls you...

It's screaming... EAT ME!...

You know you want it.

Give in to the temptation and have your cake and eat it too..

In fact I've got a Banana Raisin Walnut loaf cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting just lying there luxuriously in my fridge, waiting to be ravaged...

 *yummmm*

Fills me with LOVE. :-)
