A special friend of ours, whom I might add, is slowly warming up to Albert, has a mantra when is comes to desserts. You probably guessed it by now - it's a simple one - always eat dessert first. When I was but a small child, I was taught another, similar mantra - always eat the pie crust first, then eat the pie. No doubt both sayings were for the same reason - if you wait until later, you might be too full. While I seldom eat dessert first, to this day, I always eat the crust first.
