"A Room of One's Own"~ Day 22, Month 2

         

Ok, so it was only our own room for four nights, but it was beautiful...a bit ostentatious but compliments of his employer for a job well done for their team, so who are we to say no?  In my dream world we would have a little balcony off of the bedroom, with a bed to lay on with complete privacy...oh and you might notice wine paid for as well.  It is the antithesis of the types of places we travel together, we tend to be more a la carte than all inclusive.  With the exception of a slight mudslide incident (ok, he might beg to differ and think of it more as The Great Mudslide Incident of 2012...) it was good food with a great guy, and now if we ever went again we know more what to expect in a place like this.  Our best time was still probably when we overpaid for a cab to the shabbier (aka the not resort) part of town and found a little outdoor dive bar and just walked around solo...much more our style and who knows, maybe next time a room of our own in that part of town.

Puff Pastry Ecstasy...

After five days at a world class resort (that was honestly a bit too much for us, but his company paid for it) it is great to be home...and oddly the one really good food I cannot forget came in the bread basket at Piaf; it was this puff pastry roll with a mushroom filling, and I am now going to be on a mission to find something similar to create. If your mouth could orgasm it would have! The pictures on the site don't do this restaurant justice, think if Morticia Addams went high class...because it was dark and the red beads and candlelight were just perfect.  Best service ever, and one of the best meals ever (will also be learning to make an orange Creme Brulee!).  Hmmm...til then I might need to do the Mushroom Risotto recipe from Giada on the Food Network site, well worth the effort!
