Scenes From A Graduation

If I wasn't working so hard in the kitchen, I'd be able to show you a few pictures from Thursday.  But, alas, I'm chopping and sauteeing, slicing and dicing and don't have a moment to spare.

But if I did, I'd be able to show you a tall blonde with a newly acquired BS.




Who was suddenly beseiged by papparazzi.


Swept off to dinner by a mysterious man with a German accent.

Who insisted on the truffled cheese fries to start, along with several other deadly sins.




And aided and abetted by two attractive accomplices,


led us straight through the rich entrees to much not needed desserts.


Where I fought not to eat any of the toffee ice cream or the chocolate cakes, but lost the battle.

There was talk of accompanying them back to "their place" for several botles of champagne.

But here the graduate and myself begged off and drove home to walk the dog and fall into deep sleep.

Only to awake the following morning and wonder if it was all but a dream.

If I had a minute to spare this is just how I would tell the story.

  4. Nice story, but I don't understand the need to fight the desserts! (Even if you lost.) What nicer excuse could you have had to yield?

    Well done, that tall blonde graduate.....

  6. Congratulations GG, how thrilling to have such an accomplishment under your belt and all of that studying behind you!!

    I think it is against some food law to 'not' take bite of said desserts. Yum!

  12. Fantastic - many congrats to the tall, blonde graduate!
    Now, I have to ask - what on earth are truffled cheese fries - they look delicious (enough to divert my attention from the desserts even)!! And the mini Elvis burgers on the menu - what are those?
    What a great day, thanks for sharing.
