I hereby proclaim the ten top sweets currently available at this time. By the pompous powers I have given unto myself, I hereby present to you my worthy reader. Here are the ten best things that will set you right. This are my recommendations to over such things as love gone bad.

Mango Lassi
I love this drink. A lassi is a nice cream drink and it is so right when it is mango lassi. It is cool to the taste and so smooth. The tropical taste of mango gives a great body to the drink. What I would do for a mango lassi just now.

Kookaburra Licorice
This is by far my favorite treat. I love Australia for the kookaburra licorice. This is by far the best licorice I've tasted. I once took a kilo of this world famous licorice and shared it with no all summer. That is no way to live, I know. The kookaburra licorice is not to be wasted on the ignorant and the under-appreciating. The appreciation should border on reverence.

Nutella
There are two things right about Nutella. One is the hazelnuts and the other is chocolate. What is toast without Nutella on it? A piece of artificially dried bread. With the crown of Nutella, a toast is exciting and desirable.

Honey
Honey though technically not a sweet has to be there. It is the sweet for the gods. You can drip a little on the spice bread and have a sweet with your snack. The same works for scones. Is there is sweeter word than honey?

Lemon meringue Pie
Remember Mr. Gollem Smeegle and The Precious? Remember the sweetest happy time when Smeegle is about to grasp The Precious as he is falling into the volcano? That is me and the Lemon Merange Pie. Not just any Lemon Merange Pie. Restaurant, home, or Baker made with the lemon you can taste. The taste that excites the saliva and all the senses.

Pecan Pie
I know this is the rich one and that is why it is so good. A pecan pie can set the heart right. The more important heart. I'd like mine just right, not too sweet and maybe with a hint of rhum. Just a tantalizing hint.

Ice Cream
Ice Cream is one of those awful minefields. There are so many brands and flavors. It is like going into the ice cream shop and having to choose. Only when you write about it, you don't get to choose the one which you have to eat. There are thousands of choices but I think I will settle once again on butter scotch ripple.

Maple Syrup
Maple Syrup? As a sweet? Yes! How do you put a happy smile on an ice cream? Cap it with Maple Syrup. Maple syrup makes smoked salmon delicious. It does the same magic for breakfast sausages.

Zero Chocolate Bar
Or the Belgian chocolates. The choices would remain so hard. I love the smooth taste of Zeros. They are cool, smooth, and a perfect creation. Neither too dull nor too sweet.

Hot Chocolate
There is something so satisfying about chocolate in a hot steaming mug. I love the rich, dark chocolate powder. I love to sweeten to taste with honey as per my mood. Hot chocolate warms the heart like no other sweet.

Love. So that is ten. When love goes bad, there are ten things you can do about it. This is the very best advice I can give you. If I were currently in right frame of mind, I would be telling you that they are the only ten things that anybody at anytime in any universe should be recommending for any situation or any condition.
