    Only one dessert for the rest of my life? Just imagining that possibility is heart-breaking, because 1) I live for dessert and 2) I love every single category of dessert and cannot choose between them! So I'm going to cheat and choose a double one – some type of apple-cinnamony thing a la mode with ice cream. Or an ice cream cake? Hmmm, could get two desserts in there that way – yes, that might work too πŸ™‚

    Does that mean *one piece* of rich, fudgy, salted-caramelly chocolate cake and no more once I'm done that one piece for the rest of time, or *only* rich, fudgy, salted-caramelly chocolate cake for the rest of time? …And how big of a piece are we talking?
