Dessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food but sometimes of a strongly-flavored one, such as some cheeses. The word comes from the French language as dessert and this from Old French desservir, "to clear the table" and "to serve." Common desserts include cakes, cookies, fruits, pastries, ice cream, and candies. The word dessert is most commonly used for this course in U.S., Canada, Australia, and Ireland, while sweet, pudding or afters would be more typical terms in the UK and some other Commonwealth countries, including India. According to Debrett's, pudding is the proper term, dessert is only to be used if the course consists of fruit, and sweet is colloquial. This, of course, reflects the upper-class/upper-middle-class usage. More commonly, the words simply form a class shibboleth; pudding being the upper-class and upper-middle-class word to use for sweet food served after the main course, sweet, afters and dessert being considered non-U. However, dessert is considered slightly better than the other two, owing to many young people, whose parents say pudding, acquiring the word from American media.[1][2] Desserts are often eaten with a dessert spoon, intermediate in size between a teaspoon and a tablespoon. name="References" id="References">

16. Alcoholism Requires Recognition and Treatment
October 02, 2009
He was only about fifty-eight years old when he died. My former boss was an alcoholic. In fact, I doubt he could function without a drink. He was in the restaurant business and he could be seen mixing it up with patrons always obviously drunk. Yet, he was a highly 'functional' alcoholic. He made a flaming dessert drink for the customers.
Alcoholism hurts people, it damages lives and the addiction is a leech that controls and dominates the person it is attached to. Alcohol treatment can help, but it can only help if the person wants to change.

24. The Wedding Cake: Much More Than A Tasty Dessert
September 17, 2009
Everyone today agrees that the cutting of the wedding cake is one of the most important parts of the ceremony. Initially, the idea of piling up several cakes one above the other came from the Romans. They would pile up many cakes (each of different sizes) as high as they could, while the bride and groom would try kissing over the cake without toppling it over. If they succeeded at that, it meant that the newly wed couple would share a life of peace and prosperity together. Couples today may not be keeping such traditions in mind for sure, while selecting a wedding cake. All they want ... (read more)
