Eton Mess, Mini scones, Strawberries

I had a whole bunch of stuff at Reynold's Tavern in Annapolis:  bacon mac & cheese,  Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Served with diced Tomato, Cucumber, and Kalamata Olives and Feta Cheese with warmed pita, drizzled with pepper infused Olive Oil; Seared scallops over foraged mushroom and parmesan risotto, finished with balsamic reductions; andouille sausage in a cajun spiced tomato sauce; artichoke lobster dip; some other stuff (I don't even remember it all).

I won the evening when I took some of the mac & cheese (the bacon had already all been eaten off), and drizzled the andouille-infused cajun-spiced tomato sauce from that dish -- they were delicious together, and everyone else followed suit.

and then a berry cream and shortbread "cake" like desert.  I told everyone I wasn't much of a desert person, but everyone else was stuff by then, so I ended up having to eat most of it.

I'm going to have to walk several miles every day this week to burn it all off.

My first attempt at ramen eggs. Presentation leaves a lot to be desired, and the white was too firm but the texture of the yolk was fantastic.

Ramen eggs are the best!!

Dusty Oriented Ice Cream

Approved!
