Oh my, even trying my very best, keeping my list of favorite desserts to a manageable number posed problems.

1) Should I put some cakes under this category or were they already included under My Favorite Cakes? (Already posted.) Because homemade cakes are also one of my favorite desserts to serve. But it seemed only proper (at the time) that cakes have their own special list. So, bottom line, when looking for a special dessert you should also look at my list of favorite cakes. (Why I didn’t just combine the two lists is something I will never understand. But at the time, it made sense). (Isn’t retrospect wonderful?) Right!!! Anyway, this list contains, except for my list of favorite cakes, cookies, and candy, (all perfectly correct to serve at the end of a meal BTW), some delicious ways to end a meal. And I know, almost all meals that end with dessert are a treat. Because, I don’t know about you, but I don’t usually serve dessert. Well, unless we are feeding company, that is. But just Mr. C, and me – heck no. We don’t need the extra calories. But with guests, all bets are off!

2) Which of all the desserts on my site would I not want to eat again? And the answer to that was – not one bloody one of them! I like them all! So, making choices was difficult. So, even though I tried really hard, I could not exclude any of the desserts you find listed below.   

So, given my logic for this long list, I hope you find this, and my other “favorite” lists helpful.

Well, snow is semi-predicted in our part of the world for later today and for the next couple of days. I say “semi-predicted” because the weather people can’t seem to make up their minds whether we should worry about the weather, or whether the weather is not going to cause us any grief at all. (Don’t you just love the English language. How did any of us ever learn to spell!)

So, on the happy thought of snow possibly falling on our beloved homeland, I’m planning quiche and spinach salad for dinner. But it won’t make itself. So, I better get to it.

As always, peace and love to all.
