ok the yoshi said he liked food porn so I thought I might list and describe a few
Dateline Mexico, Puerto Vallarta 2004 (I actually have no idea what any of that is actually for)
Asparagus and Tomato soup. Asparagus (like most green vegetables) I think is something you need to try to like. but the two paired together was pretty special. I find I can be pretty adventurous with my soups.... Lettuce soup, bouillabaisse, asparagus the list goes on and on. if it is hot and tasty, I am game.
This one is Mexico, at the Valentin Imperial Maya on the Cancun side of things in 2008. This is Jamie Lou's Meat Stuffed Chili with pomegranate seeds. While not my thing to get to eat, she really liked it. And if you promise not to say that I told you, she got the same meal twice there it was so good.
So let's see 4 malts and 8 cookies, that is a great dessert. OK this is from the Florida trip in April 2009. Jamie Lou wanted dessert, and we kind of hit it off with the owner and this was the result. The cookies, we were informed, seemed "old" to the owner of MadFish so he had new ones cooked up. But since the were so hot they couldn't go into the stand they normally come in for service between the malts. And since there were two of us he thought two cookies of each flavor would be good for us too. The four (4) banana malts are so you can have one with each flavor of cookie. A lot of food if you ask me, but there were left overs and the servers at the bar Bongo Bongo's next door really liked them. Look closely at the malts, they had these great purple sugars sprinkled on them. Look even closer you can just see the key lime pie I ordered. I knew it was going to be great when the pie came and it was white and not neon green.
Same meal, same restaurant. I got the tuna (size of a softball) cooked tar tar, and it was cold red in the middle, soooooo good. Wassabi mashed potato egg roll. and marinated blanched baby bok choi. I have to admit I only ordered this after I saw how good it was the night before when Jamie Lou got it. If only I had pictures from the 22 ounce lobster tail from the night before.......
This is the night we got back from the Florida trip. Tired and not all that hungry we made it up to Sage on their last night to say good bye, have a drink and a few bites to eat. Everything has a season I guess, but it still makes me a bit sad to know our favorite place to go for great food is gone.
mmmm...real key lime pie. I'm with Yoshi on food porn, it's my favorite kind. I just had huge parmesean crusted scallops on a bed of lobster rissoto in Atlanta. :)

Cam, how could you leave out Dani's cold strawberry soup in your list of soups -- that's dabomb. Just for the record, yes I did get the stuffed chile pepper twice and I'm really hoping I can have it 5 more times in Mexico in July. I'll make sure to take an un-mutilated pic that time.
