Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a sweet tooth; especially for chocolate. When I was the director of the retirement home, I would usually ask about the dessert of the day. We had one resident who always ate her dessert first, so that she would not be too full for it at the end of the meal. As the saying goes “Life is unpredictable, eat dessert first!”
