Though I try not to make dessert a common event -- more like a once in a while treat when I'm out with friends or celebrating. We all have to find our own balance, but I try not to live to eat.

• I'd love to only eat in, but that's not realistic with my lifestyle and work (which requires constant travel) or social situations... so I shoot for 100% perfection and land somewhere closer to 85-90% and that's fine by me. I always eat vegan though - that's never an exception.
