Cheeze

In honor of Sheela's second favorite word (Cheeze) she selected the recently opened, long awaited Cheesecake Factory for our "you are an only child celebration" night after Sunil left. This restaurant is really wonderful but the portions are enormous. We skipped the appetizers and ate only a 1/3 of our meals. Sid had the Jambalaya, I had pecan crusted catfish with succotash and whipped new potatoes, Sheela had an 18" x 9" x 1/4" piece of chicken breast "breaded" with Parmesan and Romano cheeses and angle hair pasta. Even with taking most of it home we were unable to finish one slice of Cheesecake between the three of us. In our defense, the selected cake was a chocolate cookie crust, chocolate cheesecake topped with a layer of Belgian chocolate mousse, chocolate shavings and whipped cream. Then because Sid had was planning to order the hot fudge sundae cheesecake we had them bring us a pot of hot fudge to drizzle on top. Delicious but perhaps too decadent.

Ah, yes ... decadent sounds like the right word!

Well I clicked on "next blog" button at the top of mine a few times and seem to have ended up here. So you seem to have a random commentator!

Fish, cheese cake, pecans, that's not decadent, that's fantastic :-)

And glad to see below that you tagged along with the cubs, as my user name probably gives away it's something quite close to my heart.

TTFN!
