Unfortunately I have never seen a dessert item on a bar menu - why? Why not have a mini dessert item listed. Whenever I ask they give me the main menu....right, I'm sitting at the bar and I've just had a single slider a single order of sweet potato fries, I do not want 3 scoops of ice cream. I don't need death by chocolate either or a loaf of bread pudding.
It really isn't a money thing, it's a calorie thing. I'm not trying to be cheap, I'm fighting the scales while my aging metabolism slows down each year. If it was a money thing I wouldn't be ordering your wine by the glass?
After my 2 bar menu items and 2 glasses of house Merlot I want a cookie!!!!
Let me be specific again, I want a bar menu cookie, I don't want a 6 inch diameter Frisbee. I want a 2-3 bite size oatmeal and raisin or chocolate chip cookie!
- If a cookie isn't available I'll take a single golf ball scoop of ice cream.
- I'll take a 1 inch square brownie.
- How about a mini fruit salad? Give me a ramekin with some grapes and mandarins.
- What about a shot of chocolate pudding?
Don't tell me to share, I've shared desserts that would have fed me for 3 meals, the amount of sugar would have made insulin drip out of my ears, taken a marathon to burn off the calories and made my teeth fall out and walk away in disgust.
I'm right there with you. Drinking alcohol makes me crave something sweet. A small bite, even after a big meal is easier to balance with my fitness goals.
