A few years ago my wife and I attended a wedding at a local winery. The
meal was delicious, beef tenderloins grilled to perfection. There was a
dessert table with full portion slices of cakes, pies and other goodies.
I was amazed to see people loading up with three or more servings each.
By the time the bridal party went to get their dessert there was nothing
left.
