Simple Pleasure of the Day: Dessert leftovers

My SPOTD for today is a direct result of purposely filling up on lunch at a restaurant just so I could only eat half of my cheesecake to save for later as dessert leftovers.

Leftovers are always great.  However, dessert leftovers are the best kind of leftovers because:

- Desserts are arguably the reason why you eat food in the first place.  Come on, anybody without a sweet tooth excluded, desserts are the sole reason why you ate your vegetables as a kid, tolerated family get-togethers with that one annoying aunt with the crazy delicious cookies, and gained that Freshman 15 because you've discovered you have to buy your own food with no parental supervision.

- Desserts tend to keep great as leftovers.  I had cheesecake with lunch, kept it in my purse for hours before placing it in the fridge for a few extra hours to then finally finish the rest of it later in the night.  Tomorrow's version of these leftovers would have been swell, too.

- Desserts.  Are.  Wonderful.  Need I say more?
