Sometimes our favorite desserts are quick fix comfort foods

Dessert can be anything that will satisfy your sweet tooth at the end of a meal. The other day I bought fresh tapioca at the organic food store and boiled it with water and milk and let it soak for a while and mixed in egg, sugar, milk and vanilla and flavored it with strawberry. It was the perfect dessert and I will make it again - next time I will try it plain.

Ode to dessert and the local corner store that supplies me with endless pints of Haagen-dazs. And if it's not ice cream I'll pick up ready bake chocolate chip cookies. They're great frozen so why bother turning on the oven and cooking them.

Desserts are a fact of life. If friends and family gather together, than dessert items undoubtedly get more serious. That's the time to bake cheesecake or chocolate chip cookies. But on quiet nights home alone, I'll sneak my favorite treats and keep it down home comfortable and simple.
