The goodies behind the glass case were mighty tempting - but with the
additional order of mac and cheese, it wasn't an option (I'm a
goodie-a-holic, but was stuffed after a tempeh burger and some fruit for
dinner along with half the mac and cheese - spouse ate the other half,
along with his burrito thingie). I just about licked out the plate of
cheese after the curly pasta was gone. Apparently, there used to be a
bread crumb coating on the top, but folks ordering the dish for their
rug rats were complaining (I get this from my source who is apparently
addicted to the stuff) that their kids didn't like the topping.
Should probably mention that we finished off the chocolate dipped fruit
from The Candy Lady before we left for dinner. Had orange peel,
pineapple, apricot and brandied cherry - all of it delicious. The sweet
tooth had been satisfied pre-dinner. Being an adult has its plusses.

I'd imagine pie(s) and coffee makes a great breakfast. Glad we didn't
attempt to read anything - coulda gotten in trouble.

After dinner we went to the light show at the Botanical Garden - I'm
pretty sure that tonight is the last night of it. It was very pretty.
Last time we visited was at Thanksgiving seven or so years ago and they
were just beginning to set up the lights. It was nice to see what
they'd turned into. The weather was extremely mild and it made for a
nice after dinner stroll.
