I agree, dessert is the most important part of a meal!
I have heard some people say that they always eat dessert first. That way they know that there is always room for it.
I am not one of those people though. Even as a little kid I always got a little sick when I'd eat anything sweet. I can usually really enjoy that first spoonful, but after that there is only diminishing returns.
I suppose that sweets making me a little nauseous was a hint that I would be a diabetic later on in life. It never stopped me from eating desserts, but it did change what I considered to be dessert worthy.
I always look forward to a really special fruit salad for my dessert. If I am the one doing the shopping that week, you can be certain that I will buy the best looking fruit and make a fantastic dessert with the fruit as a base. I might add a plain cake or something to it, but a pretty fruit dessert is what calls to me now. And call it does!
