Pure, Food & Wine

Celebrating two special ladies on their October birthdays, we met at the very fancy Pure, Food & Wine restaurant for a night out. Never having been there before myself, and making only a layman's presumption, I assumed the Raw Food portions would be small, yet tasty, but possibly not too filling. Boy, was I was dead wrong!!! We opted out on appetizers and went straight to the second course, holding onto the childlike expectation of dessert after instead. The Zucchini & Roma Tomato Lasagna was fantastic and absolutely exploding with flavor. Every mouthful was savoy and scrumptious, and never once do you miss an overcooked soggy noodle.
The presentations were a true work of art, whetting the appetite immediately upon first glance, and in such a perfect little bundle that it was almost hard to not just "dig in" and shovel (not that it, um, stopped me anyway). There were 2 of us unwrapping the Zucchini Lasagna, while Tim delicately peeled away the White Corn Tamales with Raw Cacao Mole, Candypenny savoring her Raw rendition of an old Greek favorite, and CunyQueen kickin' it up with some spicy Raw tostadas.





Ah, Bellissimo!

Completare a chef!!
















Moving onto to dessert, I was surprised at how full I was already, having scraped the plate and tasted a little bit of everyone else's dish. We had a shared table of the Classic Sundae (chocolate and vanilla ice cream, cherry framboise, bananas, and candied almonds), as well as the Tiramisu (coffee sake almond babyfingers-layers with vanilla cream).

Ahhhhhh, I've died and gone to nutty dessert heaven, where things actually taste AMAZING and are healthy for you too.






















Topped off with some b-day treats. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LADIES!!!!!!!!!
