Yesterday, we celebrated my daughter and SIL’s 7th anniversary!\u00a0 After we had a delightful Thai dinner, we made our way down the road to a Greek cafe for dessert–as in, coffee and cake!\u00a0 Dum dum dum dummmmmm (for sound effects click)<\/a>!!!!<\/p>\n

My strategies to make it out of baklava heaven without busting a seam?<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 TURN a DEAF EAR to CAKE<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0 When the cake called my name, I changed my name and tuned out!<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 TASTY TIDBITS<\/strong>:\u00a0 Much to everyone’s delight (yeah, right), I helped myself to a tasty tidbit from their serving.\u00a0 One tasty tidbit per person; 3 bites.\u00a0 I checked in with myself:\u00a0 “Whose dessert is best?\u00a0 Do I want to treat myself to another tasty tidbit?”<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 With AWARENESS<\/strong>:\u00a0 I savored the flavor of each tasty tidbit and with awareness decided to call it a day after just one more bite of what I considered the best.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 FORK DOWN<\/strong>:\u00a0 After which, I put the fork down and pushed away from the table!<\/p>\n
