getting your just desserts

lunch at terrain cafe

Isn’t it feeling great that things are starting to get a little bit back to normal?  Getting together with the people we love, of course, is the best part!  When getting together at a fabulous place – all the better!

That was my luck recently when I was treated to lunch at one of my favorite places – Terrain.

There is so much to love about Terrain Café…the bread baked in a flower pot and served with herbed butter, seasonal salad selections like grilled peach and strawberry spinach, or the inventive summer beverage selection.

And, of course, a special dessert because having lunch at Terrain Café always calls for a dessert splurge!

For desserts, like everything else on the menu, a seasonal selection is offered.

Wouldn’t you like to try every single one?!  My favorite dessert is the terrarium dessert created by Terrain Café and served in a Weck jar.  Not only is it on point in theme, but it tastes absolutely delectable!

Sadly, not everyone has a Terrain Café nearby, but everyone can take some special time with special people to enjoy their ‘just desserts.’

I hope I am inspiring you to do just that!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous weekend!

missing the candles

Yes, I hate Covid-19.  Like everyone else, I miss the normalcy of everyday living.

Never did it become clearer than celebrating my birthday week.

Just losing the simple opportunity of blowing out birthday candles was upsetting!  An official birthday celebration certainly does not seem complete without candles!

Chocolate Terrarium served at Terrain Café in Westport – a birthday cake substitute with finesse!  Soft milk chocolate ganache, dark chocolate mousse, matcha morsels, and dark chocolate cake.

Everyone that has had a birthday since isolation began knows what I am talking about.  You try to make your birthday as normal as possible and then comes time for cake…and, of course, in the current climate, candle blowing is out of the question!

So, no candles this year.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wishing you many years ahead of candle blowing!
