DESSERT

Dessert is not my favorite course. I generally prefer savory to sweet. There are a few exceptions. Pecan Pie. Chocolate Mousse. Creme Brulee. The other night at April's in Nye Beach, I may conclude that the best course was dessert. It was called an "eclair" on the menu, and it was, I suppose, some sort of re-structed eclair.

It was a giant puff of pastry, crisp on the outside, and chilled. It was the size of a generous softball, dipped in a chocolate ganache, and almonds. It was served with steak knives thrust in it's helm. When cut open, the "custard" was more like a whipped vanilla pudding. It was light, allowing for me and Chris to finish it all without feeling like we had ingested as many calories as we actually did.

Foie and Stuff

Interurban, PDX. Ian said the whiskey chicken liver mousse was amazing. 3 weeks later and cravings still persist.
