LIFE IS SHORT .... EAT DESSERT FIRST. My DH and I often eat dessert first when we are traveling because most hotels know where the best desserts are served. Growing up we rarely had sweet desserts, always a fruit but my DH grew up in a house where dessert was a must after a meal. So we now have dessert with each meal. Sometimes we eat dessert first at home but it usually a bowl of fruit with some kind of sauce or whip cream of top.
