Gimme the Sweet Stuff

Wherein I could not, would not make a choice and it would take you and a slew of Dr. Seuss characters to make me.


Cake and, yes, Pie.JPG

I love desserts. I come from a family of dessert lovers. Nana’s coconut cake and fruit salad, Aunt Dorothy’s pineapple upsidedown cake, and Mama’s pumpkin pie were staples of family get togethers and holidays.


Today, Thanksgiving or Christmas without my mother-in-law’s sweet potato bread would be devastating, and I still can’t function during the holidays without pumpkin AND apple pie.

I have such wonderful, comforting memories with cake AND pie that I’d never be able to choose a favorite. What I eat depends on what I’m in the mood for, where I am, what season it is, and what’s available to me at the time it’s to be consumed. Which reminds me, there’s a key lime tart in the fridge. Well, gotta bounce!
