D is for... (A2Z meme)

Welcome to week four of my dear, dear friend Patty Wysong's alphabetical weekly meme (rhymes with cream ;)). From A 2 Z 4 U and me will work through the alphabet - one letter each Tuesday. No rules, other than your post has to relate to the letter of the week. Link up at Ordinary Lives and check out everyone else's post. Click on the graphic above for more details, and stop by Patty's blog to link up.

I had quite a tough time settling on a topic for this fourth letter of the alphabet. But finally, a friend of mine helped me settle on one that had been popping in my head off and on.

At MY blog, D is for DESSERT.

Like many of you, I really like desserts. And though my metabolism is such that they rarely cause problems with my weight (don't hate me please), they're not exactly healthy, nor are they beneficial to my complexion (in other words, I look like a pimply-faced teenager if I indulge too much). So I TRY to eat in moderation. But looking will NOT bring out the zits, so here's a picture montage of some of my favorites.

Macaroons

My love of macaroons started when I was little. As a Jew during Passover, there were very few dessert options without leaven. Macaroons can be one. And I've grown do ADORE them.Yum.

Thin Mints

Yup - I was a Girl Scout as a kid (my daughter is following in my footsteps!). I was a Brownie for a couple of years, and went on and did one year of Junior girl scouts. And there is no doubt that Thin Mints, were, and are, my fave of the cookie options.

Root Beer Float

The root beer float, to me, is the ideal dessert on a summer's day. I was an adult the first time I had one, and I can still remember my first taste of ice cream mixed with root beer. :)

cheesecake

Ohhh, cheesecake. Decadence on a plate. Rich and creamy. Need I say more?

chocolate-covered strawberries

Deeeeeelicious. And if you REALLY stretch it, you can squeeze it onto that food pyramid/plate thing. And just in case you REALLY need a reason that I like these things - here's one. Strawberries are my all-time favorite, fruit, and chocolate (milk chocolate, to be exact) is high on my list of favorite tastes.

S'mores

Another one back to my Girl Scout days. Of course, I tried my very first s'more over a campfire with some Girl Scouts. And they taste just as good now. I've done the microwave thing, and those aren't bad, but NOTHING compares to a real one, over a fire.

So, there's some decadence for you. Desserts (thanks Christy!) are certainly a delightful topic of discussion. Don't you think?
