After reading Robin's link:

That cakey thing ... not the thing I have purchased in Boston. Bostonians, bail me out!

The thing I am thinking of is closer to the French Silk picture, with a different crust.

I love mango with coconut milk and rice. But I am italike in my refusal to pick a favorite. there is a thing at the bar up the street that's probably the most decadent. It's the Xango cheesecake. It's warm rich cheesecake in a fried pastry shell with whipped cream, chocolate and caramel sauce and fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Italian tiramisu: awesome.

Mmm.

Sadly, tomorrow they fly to Texas, where I gather rain is a less common occurence.

Actually they're predicting some nasty storms for this weekend in North Texas and that May will be full of bad weather. It does rain in certain seasons, and when it does it often causes major issues. It's probably different near the coast.

Passion fruit mousse with whipped cream and a sprig of mint in chocolate shells at the Cascades restaurant in Nashville.

This? Sounds divine. But I'm a sucker for fruity desserts, especially if they're combined with chocolate. I wish my mom still had her recipe for apple kuchen, which was basically apple crisp with a thick buttery cream topping. Yummmm.

I do like fondue desserts, with fruit and cheesecake and brownie bites to dip into the chocolate. I was at a chain fondue place (Something Pot, can't remember the first word) in Seattle, and we had both Turtle Fondue and Yin Yang Fondue, which was both dark and white chocolate in the same pot laid out in the yin-yang design.

Oh, god, apple kuchen. I need to write home for our peach kuchen recipe. That was some good food.

When you get it, could you share?

Kathy, you are thinking of the Melting Pot. They have restaurants in a few cities - lots of fun, I think.

Absolutely, Kathy. It was from some dinky Sainsbury's cookbook, and just great. I hope mother still has it.
