You missed out one incredible fact though, because the density of the flakes they still retain a bit of the crunch even after heavy milkage.

Slices of poached pear lie at the bottom of the bowl topped with vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate sauce, crème anglaise (methinks?), whipped cream and a sprinkling of almond slivers. So damn good. I have to order it again the next time I see it. Two gavottes, delicate crispy rolls of sweet nanometer-thick cookie, came on the side and I couldn't help but buy a box of them the next day. Amy unfortunately got a bit of a stomach malfunction from the meal, but I hope she felt that it was worth it. I must thank her for the great company, restaurant recommendation, and bout with indigestion. Hopefully that won't keep her from eating with me again. :) [...] [...] Poire belle-hélène Amy made an excellent choice with the poire belle-hélène, a dessert that is kind of like an ice cream sundae like none I had ever eaten before.

It was only one bowl of cereal over the course of a whole day. That's not *too* decadent, is it? Even if it is chocolate. Anyway, the point is, I feel better now. Amanda —

But I will allow that maybe _two_ desserts was pushing my luck.

I hope it tastes better. Looks good... I'm so sorry you got sickly! :O I feel a-ok. Aside from the lethargy. Except that's from LACK OF SLEEP, NEVER EVER GONNA GET ENOUGH SLEEP EVER OH GOD GOING INSANE yeah. That's my prob. I'm so glad we got to eat out! We should do it again.
