Traverse and the Grand

-A grand meal at the Dennos in T.C. I had MANY of these little skewers of basil, tomato, cheese things that were heaven. Hand model is Lisa. She also egged me on in taking pictures.
-Our wonderful dinner - I took both meats.
-A little green with a roll.
-And, being where we were, cherry cobbler for dessert.
-A week later traversed to the Grand. This was braised pork spring roll.
-Sparkling grape juice.

-Shrimp cocktail.
-Whitefish soup with truffle oil (look closely, you can see the oil).
-Boursin dresing with spinach and strawberry salad...amazing!
-Prime rib with some kind of potato wellington....
-And the cheesecake trio with the funky sugar fin.

-Vichyssoise (Cold Potato Leek Soup) and a wonderful homemade roll.
-From Lisa's dinner at Horn's: The artichoke-spinach dip with some very patriotic chips!
