Can this be our appetizer? | #93 - Dessert First
93. Order dessert first at a restaurant - DONE 1/2/17
Restaurants usually have fantastic dessert options, but I'm always too full to order anything. And so, with the saying "eat dessert first" as a driving force, I set this goal.
And then forgot about it.
every. single. time. I. ate. out.
I'm a noob.
When I started trying to catch up on blog posts, I reread my list and remembered this one. I was determined to remember the next time I was at a restaurant. And it just so happened that the next time I ate out was our anniversary! Dessert first was a great way to treat ourselves :)
Jonathan had the day off (the nice thing about getting married the day after the 1st), but we had recently spent the majority of our funds on hospital bills and baby stuff, so we just kept it chill this year. For our 2-year celebration activities, we went to a movie (Dr. Strange), and then ate out at Olive Garden.
We were seated pretty soon, and when the waitress asked us if we wanted any appetizers I was ready. I pointed to the Black Tie Mousse Cake and asked, "Can we get this for our appetizer?" And bam! we had a delicious cake/cheesecake/mousse masterpiece before we ate anything else. It was seriously so good. 10/10 would eat again.
In all honesty, I love having dessert last because then that's the last taste in my mouth. But in the case of a restaurant, I think ordering dessert first is a great idea - especially if they have something you like and you know you won't have room for it after your meal.
Although now that I think about it, you can probably ask to get the dessert to go and have it later...but not realizing this sooner has probably saved me a lot of money. And calories.
