    YUM! I finally have a sweet worthy of a picture (usually, I'm a Poptart, Oreos, Reese's boring sweets girl). Tiramisu cheesecake, two styles (classic and chocolate):

    Pics are pretty horrible since it was so dark.

    I had tres leches, which was fantastic:

    And the boy had tiramasu; it was good, but I feel like they were a little heavy handed on the cocoa sprinkled on top.

    My wife and I escaped the kids and are up in Guerneville on the Russian River. Here in town there's a crazy creative restaurant (mostly Korean) that only serves dinner and desserts because it shares its space in a classic diner with a more traditional breakfast and lunch place - so in the mornings you can get classic pancakes and eggs at "Pat's" seated on vinyl stools at the counter, and then come back to the same vinyl stool in what's now "Dick Blomster's" for hand cut Seoul fries with garlic, Korean chilis, green onions, sesame, seaweed, and kimchi aioli. It's like the restaurant is Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night!

    We stopped in for dessert and shared this:

    It was very, very good!

    Yum!!! My dessert yesterday was a pint of ice cream, lol.

    CVS has their Valentine stuff 50% off and I got two huge boxes of Lindt premium truffles, I got two of those as my dessert for today...

    We have a place here called the chocolate bar; I contemplated going today, but so far I have restrained myself...

    Oh my gosh guys everything looks great! As I said in other thread, I've been in Rome for work, even on Valentine's Day! Most of the meals were at the hotel and were average at best. They had amazing looking desserts but nothing was really fantastic tasting, it was kind of disappointing. I didn't take a lot of food pics because I'm pretty sure I would have gotten strange looks from work colleagues. Here were some of the non gelato items I recall:

    Brownie, cookies, and Nutella with biscotti on the flight over which were actually some of the best airplane food I had!

    Croissant with crema inside when I landed in Rome before we hit the Vatican.

    Daily assorted pastries at breakfast were quite average.

    Something that translates to "nut cream cake" with chocolate shavings that was pretty tasty, and insert immature 12 year old boy joke here...

    Cannoli and cookies every day during coffee breaks, most were decent.

    Ricotta cheesecake with dark cherry sauce was the best hotel dessert of the trip.

    A lot of Cappucinos, Peronis, and Wine. So much wine...

    I ate it too fast to take a picture, but I just had one of these; co-worker's daughter had cupcakes delivered to her for her birthday.

    I went to the Lunar Festival today at Discovery Green! We weren't there as long as I would have liked but it was a pain for my sister to push the wheelchair with the dog we're watching for the weekend connected to it.

    I had a big ol' turkey leg and this pretty little cupcake.
