where is my beddy-bye basket?
Nov. 5th, 2014 07:45 pmTook the hoosband out for his belated birthday dinner, to the buffet restaurant he likes. I was smrt, taking only a bite of things that interested me. I learned at south'ren church homecoming potlucks, I did. SO MUCH food, and all of it good, and if you take the helpings that you really want, you'll never get through all of them. So, bites. And then if you have room, you can go back and get more.
So, the food was really good. I steered clear of tomato and pasta and breads--though I did sneak a bite of cheese biscuit--worth it! But you know, my heart belongs to the dessert buffet. They have a chocolate fountain! To some of you that may be a ho-hum thing, but for me, my inner eight year old is turning cartwheels, because Chocolate! Fountain! There were chunks of fruit, and marshmallows, and little coconut balls to spear on long skewers to dip into the fountain, and the chocolate was really good! The cake and pie was already cut and plated in very small servings, which is such a thoughtful idea for presentation.There was fudge, and brownies, and german chocolate cake, and devils food with chocolate ganache and a cherry on top. And coconut cream pie, and apple, and blueberry pie, and carrot cake, and the ubiquitous soft serve ice cream.
So I had my dinner, very sensible, lean protein and veg. And then I had a marshmallow, and a coconut ball dipped in chocolate. A small square of fudge, which didn't thrill me so I skipped all but the first nibble, and a brownie, which was fabulous. I love coconut cream pie when it's done well--this wasn't, so I didn't finish it. But the devils food cake was amazing. And then, I stopped.
Because I'm a grownup like that. But also, because I had a good dinner, and amazing dessert, and I had enough. So, yay me!
The OH? Oh, he had a little bit of everything going, including potatoes and pasta and steak and ribs. Mr. Protein Man, he is. And right now, after the drive home? He's snoring gently in the recliner. Happy Birthday, babe.
