Food For Thought...

Just two dishes that made up a culmination of tastes and textures from two different chef's table dinners at the end of the week. We were busy so the rest of the "family" photos of dishes and tastes went MIA. My bad. Bummer too, as there was some kick ass food, or so I felt. You will have to only imagine and conjure up your own images of culinary pleasure.
