    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 🙂
