Oh my. Dessert choices made at my table that first evening (and this is a bit less than half of the offerings).
Baked Alaska. Gotta have that, in Alaska, no?
I regret to say that I don't remember the name of this chocolate extravaganza.
Pumpkin pannacotta.
Saving the best for last, this is blueberry soup. It was wonderful. Terrific. We chose it from the appetizer menu, and then had it again, for dessert. At the same meal.
They made it with different sorts of berries on different days, and it was always luscious.
Light, a bit tart, all about flavor rather than presentation -- delicious.

Theme food. Hmm. I worked in a hotel restaurant in Homer AK for a few months when I was 19. Two very, very popular items on the menu were baked Alaska and shrimp cocktail on glacier ice (which was really ice from the freezer wih a little blue food coloring). Another really popular thing was lobster tail, which was flown in frozen from the East Coast. But there was also Dungeness crab delivered to the kitchen live, and fresh king crab and halibut. Yum!
And salmon, salmon, salmon. :-)
Compared to you I am a timid and unventuresome homebody......
Perhaps one day, over several pots of tea, I can hear about your travels......
I do not need to be looking at dessert at 8 o'clock in the morning. That pumpkin thing looked amazing as did the chocolate cake... Mmmmm cake.
How's dogboy? Give him a scritch for me.
The pumpkin thing and the choc cake were good but not great. The berry soup -- truly excellent. :-)
Naturally after I posted that all is well with Buzz, I took him for his vincristine (iv chemo) yesterday, and his neutrophils were too low for him to have it.
Sigh.
He still feels good, and I'm going to go by that........... He feels better than he did before we got the diagnosis. Pretty much like a not-quite-10-yr-old corgi should feel (not so droopy and draggy as he was).
The leukeran is supposed to be more of a bone marrow suppressant than the cytoxan, so that's what I'm figuring did it........
Sigh. My vet has a call in to Michigan State, to try to figure out what the plan should be.
He's not supposed to have leukeran today (every other day, alternating with half a pred).
Sigh.
He says "tanks for da scritch! now tro da frzzbeeee!"
