Lucky Shot @ Riverhouse Co.

I had the privilege to dine at the Riverhouse Co. in Lakefield, Ontario, near Peterborough, for Easter this year. The chef Karrie's creations were truly inspiring, and the whole experience was charming. I seem to remember having a rack of lamb which was to die for and seasonal veg as a main course. The appetite teaser was divinely seared beef tenderloin sliced delicately onto crostini. Delicious food, and I remember the dessert being just as fabulous, but I rarely remember desserts. Oh wait, it was a fruit pie with lemon ice cream!!! I heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone near the area! You can even boat up to the dock there with waterway directions. I tried to take a couple snaps of the restaurant as we were leaving, but it was dark out. Here is what I ended up with, which I am very happy about! Never mind that it shows nothing about what the restaurant is actually about.

Gelato Genius

Marlena over at Leap of Faith made a post about the greatness of ice cream, and it inspired me to recount last night's delightful gelato experience. Gelato Simply Italian sounds like it is run by actual italians, which I deduced from our gelato server man who said "prego," which brought back nostalgic memories of my time in Italy this summer. The flavours I had were pink grapefruit, a strong aroma with some zap to it, and coriander-lime. Coriander-lime was a genius flavour, extremely refreshing, and unsual in a way that worked. Move over, rolo-flavoured frozen dessert!

I ate the gelato, so all I have left to picture is the paper cone sheath.
