Doing Dessert

Do eat dessert! Dessert is a celebration of good food & a good life.   

My grandmother always said, "Be sure to leave room for dessert." Because of this, I learned not to eat until I was stuffed. Saving room for dessert is a lifelong habit, with surprise benefits! Having an eye on dessert makes portion control of the entree sensible. Do eat dessert with a spirit of appreciation. Enjoying dessert sets a tone of appreciation that echoes in every relationship.
   
I never realized 'desserts' is 'stressed' spelled backwards. 
 Here's how to enjoy dessert without stress.

• D --  Do the right thing. Eat with self-respect.
• E --  Enjoy every mouthful. Use your tongue to satisfy the drive for flavor.
• S --  Smile more when you are having dessert. Celebrate! Feel the goodness. 
• S --  Stop between each mouthful. Put down your fork or spoon and savor the sweetness.
• E --  Engage in eye contact while you're enjoying the sweet. Enjoy sensual syncing.
• R --  Remember, it's fortunate to have dessert when there is so much hunger in the world. 
• T -- Take your time. You may discover that you don't need to finish dessert. Dessert is a treat!
