I had the most amazing dessert one time. It was called Chocolate Walnut Pie, and I remember it as being little more than a crushed mint chocolate cookie crust, walnuts, chocolate ganache and whipped cream. I actually asked the waiter if it was legal to have so much deliciousness on one plate. With one thing and another, it was more than a year before I got back there and found it on the menu again. I ordered it, of course, but somehow it just wasn’t the same. It was good, but had been tarted up with a lot of ingredients I didn’t remember from the first time. I’ve looked at on-line recipes, but they are all like the second one, not the first.
People joke about pub food, but the best burgers in Portland are in brewpubs. There was a place that had authentic English pub food, but when the smoking ban went into effect and people could smell their food, it folded.
Time machine? All I want to do is send my self a single message to about 18 years ago. At that time, got a nice sized chunk of cash from my company being bought out – not enough to change my life, but it jump-started a retirement account. My message would be “spend all of it on Apple stock”. Despite it being absolutely horrible advice to spend all of your money on any single stock, in this particular circumstance, it would’ve grown enough for me to be retired by now.
Well, I suppose 100 years without Broomhilda hanging around could lead to the future she envisions, ut the she would have to spoil it all by coming back.
