Date Night

Last night Man-Love and I went on our monthly date night. This time we went out for dinner here.
It was wonderful.
We sat here in the corner.


Having a cow's milk allergy it was amazing to be able to order dinner and dessert off the menu without having to ask for substitutions or changes to the recipe. I had the Free range Nova Scotia Lamb burger at the recommendation of our server- who was knowledgeable and very friendly. I also had a side Apple salad and roasties- which were delicious.
Man-Love had the Scallop and Sun-dried tomato pasta which wasn't as good as mine, but still fresh and yummy. The dessert was by far the highlight of the meal. For starters the coffee was divine- but the dessert really took the cake - hahaha
Let me preface this by saying that with my milk allergy I had given up on ever having cheese cake again- which is devastating as it is my favorite dessert. Yeah, I know that there are substitutions you can make but after living a life filled with substitutions for dairy products- I was not hopeful. But, Man-Love wanted to try the Chocolate-Tofu Pie and so, we asked the server about it. His explanation of how it is made and how people love it had me sold on at least trying it, so we ordered a piece to share. That was the only mistake because I really should have gotten my own piece ;) It was - and I can't believe I am saying this- better than any cheesecake I have ever had. Period. No chalky milk aftertaste, smooth, silky, chocolaty, heaven. This has made a Wooden Monkey customer out of me!


Oh- and the conversation was nice too :)
