Indulging the Taste Buds

On a recent trip out of town, I was given a nice meal allowance and decided to use it! I thought I'd put a little plug in for Frank's Diner in Spokane, WA with this lovely picture of the hot chocolate I ordered early one morning. It was fantastic!


The last night of my trip I decided to explore a "fancy" restaurant, again in Spokane, called Wild Sage. One item on their menu (you the know the one that you look at outside the restaurant to make sure you can afford to eat there) that drew my attention was Pesto Gnocchi. Here's a picture of it before I devoured it.


And I couldn't pass up the tantalizing coconut cream pie with passion fruit sauce. Little did I know it would be decorated with edible orchids. It was decadent and well worth the stomach ache afterwards.
A final word on indulging the taste buds is one that describes a more REGULAR occurrence at home. We discovered the pizza dough for 98 cents at WINCO and couldn't wait to try our own toppings. So we added some pesto, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, spinach and sometimes other ingredients. It tastes fantastic and is cheap to boot.



Enjoy a tasty treat for yourself...
