It’s not “sinful”.

It’s good to set your thoughts, coronary heart and urge for food into it. And there’s no higher manner than to start out with a dessert made of three layers of three totally different sorts of goodies. Overlook in regards to the energy. Overlook about going to the gymnasium. Overlook in regards to the world. Take a chew and luxuriate in… then take one other… and one other.
