dreaming of dessert

I don't often remember dreams, although with my imagination it might not be necessary. This morning, though, I woke up and was dreaming about desserts. I was dreaming about which dessert I wanted to choose when there were dozens of them. It was like a cruise ship dining room. And no one had sat down yet. And each place setting had a dessert. Most of them were different from each other and all of them were lovely looking.

In my dream I was stuck between two that were very similar, but each had its strong point. My parents were sitting at the table where one of my favorites was. The other was off somewhere in the dark and I wasn't sure I wanted to go over there.

Odd dreams on a cold day. I don't remember the desserts clearly now, but there was one that had fruit and custard layered with cake and that sounds pretty good right now. The other was similar, but had dense cake and something like cream on it. Yum.

I've heard that eating lots of whole grains decreases a person's appetite for sweets. I tried it for a while and it worked. But I'm not eating enough of them now. Can you tell? Mmmmm. Sugar.
