My weakness is tiramisu, it’s so frickin good. Hook me up with a piece of that and I’m in heaven.

But what about you, what dessert item really moves your meter?

    C’mon, you can’t ask us to pick just one. Sometimes you feel like something creamy, sometimes you want crunchy, at times even fruity.

    Actually, it’s cheesecake. This week. Because my wife has banned it from the house.

          When people eat cereal, there’s generally one debate. Milk first, or cereal first?

          Would it interest you to know that I don’t like milk on my cereal AT ALL? No milk please!

          Or that with the exception of corn, I eat all my vegitables raw only?

          Or that I don’t like dark chocolate?

          I’m trying to think of other things people think is crazy that I don’t like…

          OH! Mac and Cheese.

          I also find it strange that people will defend pineapple on pizza as being “not wrong, just let people enjoy what they enjoy” but will throw a hissy fit if someone were to eat a hot dog sideways, or sit on a toilet backwards (which originally was the intended method).

    I don’t do much dessert any more.

    Carrot cake with a lot of cinnamon and cardamom and cream cheese frosting is the biggest exception. Or just like chocolate chip banana bread.

    A week or two ago, I made my wife some peanut butter cookies, because she really likes those. I decided to keep half the dough in the fridge so I could make more fresh. The next day I grabbed a nice dark chocolate square from a bowl we keep on the counter and thought, “I wonder how the league butter dough would be on this.” Oh my god, it was like the best Reese’s peanut butter cup you’ve ever had. Truly amazing.

    homemade ice cream sundaes

    i went to an ice cream parlor once and ordered a banana split, but they were out of bananas. And while i did not go immediately across the street and buy a single banana from the grocery store right there, i decided that it was worth it during my next grocery run to purchase a carton of ice cream and some toppings and make them at home. and I’ve been doing that at home for almost two years now as my go to dessert

        my go to right now is Neapolitan, a banana, some chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup. Not quite a true banana split, but more like whatever is easy to get in bulk. And I’ll swap around the ice cream and occasionally the toppings depending on mood and availability. There was one point where we had some strawberries leftover after making waffles one day so i cooked them up into a syrup and used that as a topping for a while

          That sounds really good! The Neapolitan is an interesting choice. I’d probably lean more towards one of the ‘safer’ flavors. Lol

      My honey ordered a cookies&cream milkshake at Fuddruckers once upon a time, and they sadly told him they were out of oreos. We teased them so badly about that, they were shamed into going across the street to the store to buy a bag of oreos. I don’t think we went over the line. I hope. We were trying to be lighthearted about it. and we were very appreciative that they fulfilled our order.

    Well, a cocktail of course!

    I do like sweets sometimes. Ricotta cake with raspberries is the house favorite; tiramisu is amazing, cheesecake is great, ice cream, or a fruit salad. Those are all so good.

      Recently learned a new, simple cocktail.

      • 330ml rhubarb lemonade
      • 40ml Licor 43
      • 10-20ml lime juice
      • 3-4 ice cubes

      Absolute perfection IMHO

    To be honest I’ve been enjoying a bowl of frozen wild blueberries as an evening snack. Good antioxidants and fiber to boot but it tastes like icecream for me.

      Or frozen grapes! Many frozen fruits are so, so good and refreshing as snacks
