Holy Tiramisu - It’s been a long time!

Ok. So it’s been a REALLY long time since I posted last. Yes, I know that most successful blogs post daily, or at least weekly - or pretty much more than once every 8 years!!!

 But, are any other blogs on the same quest as this one? To find the best Tiramisu in all of Italy!!! In fact, what we’re searching for is the best Tiramisu in the whole world! It’s just not every day that you come across such a fine dessert experience that warrants a full blog post!!

 I will say that I probably have experienced a great Tiramisu between 2011 and now, but none inspires the writing of the next blog in this series. Read - they just weren’t THAT good! Or maybe, the company enjoying the creamy goodness was just not blog-worthy?? There could be many reasons...

 Anyhow, tonight we find ourselves in beautiful Palm Springs California! It was only 102 degrees on our drive in - quite mild for this time of year!!

 We went to dinner with a large group at Sammy G’s Tuscan Grill. Our experience was elongated due to our group size, but the food did not disappoint!!  I had the Barramundi - which was the chefs seafood special - it was awesome! Normally, I would have take. A photo - but it was too good not to eat right away!!

 One of my dinner colleagues chose the seafood tower - now that was a great choice!! Not only did he get barramundi, but also salmon and shrimp to boot! It looked delicious! And based on the flavors of my meal, I’m sure it was incredible!

Drinks were good too - including the the Trapiche Malbec...



One endearing quality of this restaurant is that they brought a an aperitif of Amaretto for all the adults. This was a nice touch!  I found myself humming the tune “Amarillo by Morning”, by the great  George Strait...  but then I remembered it was Amaretto - not Amarillo!?!?!?

I
 Last but not least was the Tiramisu. While not a complete consensus, I did think this dessert was very good! It was quite fluffy, and very tasty! All in all, a great ending to a meal. But I must say, the apple pie was out of this world too! So maybe order one of each!
