The person who took the order told me that they were all locally owned
and operated - I was hoping to get a mac and cheese fix back here in
Dallas, but I don't think that'll happen.
SOrry to hear that the goodies are so expensive. I'll admit that I'll
pay a bit more if the quality is appropriate.

I was quite full after the meal (I mentioned in another post that we'd
also eaten chocolate dipped fruit prior to dinner - which contributed to
the stuffedness) so no dessert was eaten - still looked pretty though.

I really enjoyed the red stuff drink. Never occurred to me to mix Red
Zinger tea, peppermint tea and cranberry juice. Hmmmmmm, some extra
crushed ice and a bit of vodka....

Too bad about the coffee. Seems to me that there's a fortune to be had
in frou frou coffee drinks (well, at least well made ones. I've never
been a fan of Starbucks - on the few occasions that I've had a coffee
from there, it's tasted burned, which I can only assume, most of the
population finds appealing.)
