Here is another quote from the book that I'm reading called Eat Cake by Jeanne Ray. I love this quote!!!!! After reading it on page 2 of the book, I knew that I was going to love this character. Call it "food for thought" on this thoughtful Thursday!
"Cakes have gotten a bad rap. People equate virtue with turning down dessert. There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve cake. No really, I couldn't, she says, and then gives her flat stomach a conspiratorial little pat. Everyone who is pressing a fork into that first tender layer looks at the person who declined the plate, and they all think, That person is better than I am. That person has discipline. But that person isn't a person with discipline, that is a person who has completely lost touch with joy. A slice of cake never made anybody fat. You don't eat the whole cake. You don't eat cake every day of your life. You take the cake when it is offered because the cake is delicious. You have a slice of cake and what is reminds you of is someplace that's safe, uncomplicated, without stress. A cake is a party, a birthday, a wedding. A cake is what's served on the happiest days of your life.
This is a story of how my life was saved by cake, so, of course, if sides are to be taken, I will always take the side of cake."
I couldn't agree more.

I am happy to say that when I go out to eat with friends (not necessarily with Ben, but sometimes), I always order my dessert first.
AMEN!
