Dessert (/dᵻˈzɜːrt/) is a course that concludes a main meal. The course usually consists of sweet foods and beverages, but may include coffee, cheeses, nuts, or other savory items. In some parts of the world there is no tradition of dessert to conclude a meal.
The term dessert can apply to many foods, such as cakes, tarts, cookies, biscuits, gelatins, pastries, ice creams, pies, puddings, custards, and sweet soups. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts.
The word "dessert" originated from the French word desservir, meaning "to clear the table." Its first known use was in 1600, in a health education manual entitled Naturall and artificial Directions for Health, which was written by William Vaughan. In his A History of Dessert (2013), Michael Krondl explains it refers to the fact dessert was served after the table had been cleared of other dishes. The term dates from the 14th century but attained its current meaning around the beginning of the 20th century when "service à la française" (setting a variety of dishes on the table at the same time) was replaced with "service à la russe" (presenting a meal in courses.)"
We the strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak.
Tonight, I'll fix what's left of your soul.
The scars that you have are emotional.
So there you go, You're drinking so much
you're falling face down on the floor,
And I know that when you call I'll break your fall.
The alcohol will sweep you off your feet.
Tonight, I'll fix what's left of your soul,
The scars that you have are emotional.
This is how you break a bad habit.
What were you thinking all along?
This is how you break a bad habit.
When your life means more than what you're good for.
Tonight won't last forever.
Let it go. There's one way out.
You say it's now or never,
You can't talk with a foot in your mouth.
Use your head instead of wasting your life.
Give it all that you've got,
You were bought at a price.
Give it all you've got,
You're only half way there.
Give it all that you've got,
I'm here because I care,
