Happy birthday to me...

Yes, today I celebrated my 44th. I never get excited about celebrating birthdays, especially after 40, but here it is, another year. My husband took me to a restaurant called Encore, run by chef John Wesley.

This swan is filled with leftovers of an entree I could not finish. At least, I thought I was full, until Chef sent over a dessert with a little candle on it for my birthday. It was called the chocolate sac du bon bon. (If only I had my camera at dinner because it was worthy of a photograph). It was a large cube made of chocolate, topped with whipped cream and a raspberry sauce; and hiding inside the cube shell (that has to be cracked open) was a ridiculously delicious chocolate mousse. I believe it was probably one of the most decadent things I've ever tasted. Paired with a little port wine, somehow I managed to put a good dent in it. I just wonder how I had room? Excuse me while I slip into a sugar coma now...
