DEEsserts
I have to start with desserts. When I think of delicious things, the first image that comes to my mind is desserts. I can hardly walk past the bakery counter at my local grocery store without drooling. The fanciful things that I see looking back at me from that glass case are enough to bring me to tears. Chocolate laden cakes in mulitiple layers of decadance accessorised with a dizzying assortment of nuts, candies and lacy icing frills. To one side of the cakes are luciously filled cannolis. Lightly baked little shells filled with a glorius array of tasty fluff. Some are rolled in chocolate and sprinkled with nuts while others are fruit filled and fancy. I've often dreamed of a Key Lime filled cannoli. What do you think. There are colorful and spectacular delights on every shelf. I find myself just staring at the beauty before me, almost unable to walk away. I vaugely hear someone behind the counter asking me if I need help. If the truth be known, yes I do. I want to take one of everything in that showplace of magic home with me. I feel myself starting to swoon!! I have got to move on. Back to what I went to the store for, toilet bowl cleaner.
Aside from the fact that I get carried away with the luciousness of the dessert itself and my tastebuds are working overtime, the other thing that causes me to unashamedly stare like a prepubescent boy looking at his first girly magazine is the pure beauty of these decadent delights. Someone with a definite eye for style has implimented the elements of design and created edible works of art. It's true! Everywhere you look is the beauty and pleasure of art. Even in the grocery store.

Good heavens, those all look AMAZING! Which reminds me, I haven't had lunch yet...maybe a trip to my local pâtisserie is in order!
