### **October is National Dessert Month!**

*According to* *Wikipedia*, “The word “dessert” originated from the [French](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French%5Flanguage?ref=thechocolatelife.com) word *desservir* “to clear the table” and the negative of the [Latin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin%5Flanguage?ref=thechocolatelife.com) word *servire.”*

*If you look at the Wikipedia page linked to above,* you’ll see listed more different kinds of cakes, candies, cookies, and custards than can be safely eaten in a year, let alone a single month – and that’s just in the C’s!

Going through the list, what are your favorite categories of desserts and some of your favorite kinds and flavors? Do you have a family member who makes them? Do you make these yourself? Or do you have a favorite shop that makes The. Best. \[Insert your choice here\]. Ever!

Me? 

I must admit I am a fan of classics, though I am often very disappointed by tiramisu, the world’s favorite dessert. I also love affogatos and am extremely fond of chocolate pecan pie. I am tempted to go cross-category and choose something that includes items from more than one category. Brownie sundaes with salted caramel chocolate sauce topped with deep-fried almonds and whipped cream are *never* a bad idea.
