Perhaps you have experienced a special shared moment.  This past week I had lunch with a friend I had not seen in a long time.  We talked about everything we could think of to catch up.  Finally it was time for dessert.  I love sharing dessert with someone else, or even a group of people around the table.  Something about that is fun for me.  This friend and I both love chocolate so we decided to share this yummy chocolate dessert.  It was so good that I need to tell you about it!

The dessert was a small round moist chocolate cake filled with a thick warm gooey chocolate sauce that oozed out once we dipped into it. At the base of the cake on the plate were raspberry and chocolate syrups along with a few berries.  It was all topped off with a small dusting of powdered sugar. This was the sort of dessert that made your glands activate….those two located on either side of your neck up high, just below your ear and behind your jaw bone.  This would happen at first glance, not to mention how these glands went crazy once the first taste entered your mouth!

We totally enjoyed this, taking turns digging our spoons into the chocolate.  Interestingly, as much as we both loved it, neither of us would finish the last bite!  (Yet we did whittle it down to a very small bite). That has been puzzling me a little as I remember our time together.  Why did we leave the last bite of that awesome dessert on the plate?  Were we too full?  Did we remain persistent, wanting the other person to enjoy the last bite?  Or did we just not want the moment to end?  Can special shared moments ever really end?
