Tonight I drove down to auto école and grocery shopping all by myself! Woohoo.
Maybe I'll drive part of the way to the Netherlands in a few weeks...anyway, R and I went to Lyon last Tuesday and had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant at Institut Vatel (a world-renown hotel management school).
Menu:
Aperitif (only R, as I don't really drink alcohol)
Amuse bouche
Entree
Plat Principal
Cheese plate (with choice of 25 different cheeses), or fromage blanc with creme and sugar on top
Followed by a chariot of desserts (but it was more like 3 chariots of desserts and another table).
By the time the chariots came out (2.5 hours into dinner), I was so full. But I couldn't resist and tried 3 different tortes. I was laughing so hard at seeing the desserts because the choice and quantity was RIDICULOUS.
Drooling looking at the desserts!
ReplyDeleteI was giddy with excitement looking at the THIRTY-ONE different desserts. The servers must have thought I was a little loopy laughing so much. It was difficult deciding which desserts to try. In the end, I chose 3, but only managed to eat small bites of each. But if I had left more room at the end, they said I could have had a bite of every single one if I wanted. That is something to remember for next time!
