Paula went to Dinner

Paula went to dinner, or to be more accurate, Paula went with Duane. Tonight was Duane's turn to pick the restaurant. Actually it has been his turn several times this week. Tonight was the best (For Duane) . . . Paula had a miserable time. 

Here you see Paula's Sea bass surrounded, as it were, by some other things. She hated it all!

Here is Duane's Pigeon Pie. . . Yes, folks there is a complete pigeon in that puff pastry. Duane Loved every bite. 

This tasty morsel, served on it's own bed of salad is the pigeon leg. Oh My! Duane loved it!

This is when it got "Crazy Yummy, Scrumptious" on this plate is chocolate 5 Ways! Each more incredible than the next. Paula started to pay attention about here and wished she had eaten dessert first? She was noticeably gleeful after just the second pile of goodness. By the end  she was in heaven! Paula may never order a main course again and just go straight for dessert!

I know, I know it doesn't look like much on that giant black plate, but Man-O-Man, this was something to cry for. The longish thing on the upper right is a pear thingee! Too wonderful to describe. The thingamajig on top that looks like a weed from the garden is actually a burnt candy tray with itty-bitty, tiny, tiny scoops of ice cream stacked along the top! Wow! Duane wept with joy! And the little brown thing in the middle of the plate is a chocolate morsel that had Duane begging for mercy! By time they brought us our "Going Away Treat" (more chocolate and a strawberry macaroon) both Duane and Paula were sobbing uncontrollably.
