Celebrate the Day- October 14 is National Dessert Day and that Means We Can Eat All the Dessert We Want (I Threw the Last Part in For Fun)

dessertLook I have no idea what the origins are (if any) but I'm not about to question the one day when I've supposed to eat desserts!  

I have a cold right now but I can guarantee you that if placed a home made piece of cake in front of me, this very moment... I'd eat it! 

Dessert has a special ring to it, don't you think? It's positive... it means something good.... it's what we had after dinner, if were good and ate everything on our plates (back in the days when they had to force us to eat everything on our plates!) 

I don't like just every dessert mind you..... I prefer home made when possible.  My friends know this and apple Pieunderstand that if they want to help me celebrate my birthday, they absolutely do not go out and buy a cake for me.  I'd rather make it myself.   And, besides, when I make it I'm using the real stuff and not preservatives. 

In fact... when we're out to dinner, my eyes immediately head to the Desserts!  I find it difficult  seeing the Dessert cart stroll by without wanting to grab everything off of it.  That said, I won't waste calories on just so-so desserts.  I'm pretty particular. 

So, what about you?  How are you going to Celebrate National Dessert Day?  And what are your favorite Desserts?  

It's Friday so how about having some fun and take my poll (thanks to Craig Rutman for starting this poll folly!)

Didn't realise there was a National Desert Day! I am a retired pastry chef and didn't know that!  Shame on me.  Again, I don't really eat dessert much anyway since I got so used to making it.

Repeat as if you're the Dos Equis guy: I don't often eat dessert. But when I do I eat cheesecake.

Happy National Dessert Day Kathy!

You have permission to enjoy all the tasty desserts you can today! I hope your cold goes away as quickly as whip cream off a slice of strawberry shortcake!

Oh what a wonderful day to celebrate desserts. Enjoy your special day!

Jennifer- You... a retired pastry chef and you don't eat dessert!  Wow... I suppose if I had to make desserts all day, I'd probably not want to eat them either, so maybe I should do that and I won't be so tempted.

Craig- OMG... I don't know what worries me more.. the fact that I did repeat it in the Dos Equis' guy's voice or that with my cold... I sounded a little like him!

Patricia- Wish you hadn't said Strawberry Shortcake.... now I'm thinking I need some.

Now there is a holiday that sounds very fun to celebrate!!  My mom always taught me too that when you eat out, you read the dessert menu first to know how much room you need to leave for that!  My favorite is anything chocolate for sure - and actually I am pretty sure that chocolate cures colds if you want to give it a try!  LOL

Hope you feel better very soon Kathy. I chose the cheesecake for my dessert today. Chocolate chip cookies wasn't an option - that's my top choice or a Red Velvet cake. Oh boy, now you've done it...I'm craving sweets.

Nancy- If chocolate cured colds... I'd never had a cold!  But, since you said so... I may just have to find some chocolate!

BARFF- gotcha... and I'll give you my adult beverages....did I say that?... must be the cold talking. 

Lou- don't you just love it... we Americans can make a "national holiday" out of anything. 

Debb- I hope you meant home made chocolate chip cookies!  Now you're talking.

Stefanie- I just love chocolate cake! Maybe if I could find a piece of cake that would help my cold.

Well hopefully it'll work for you Kathy - and if not chocolate still should make you feel better despite your cold:!

Hi Kathy--National Desert Day followed by Sweetest Day.  I am not getting on the scale until next month . . .  Love the poll.  Apparently most of us are hungry for chocolate cake.  And it's still early enough to have a slice here.

News to me, I thought 2011 was national dessert year and I've been eating that way all year.  May have to repeat it in 2012!

Nancy- I must be sick... haven't had any chocolate/dessert for days now.  Good indicator.

Janet- I agree... it looks like most people prefer chocolate cake.

Gabe- you and my husband must have the same calendar!

Valerie- You said it just right... the main course is a "short interlude before the real reason for the meal-dessert".
