I have always had a passion for food. I love the flavors, the smells, the textures, the colors, even the sounds - like the sound of a wooden spoon stirring the sides of a pot, the sound of onions being sauteed in olive oil, the sound of my favorite soup bubbling on the stove, even the clatter of dishes being set on the table. What about the smell of apple pie baking in the oven? And the smell of lasagna wafting through the house, you can smell the cheese melting! Our most recognized senses are sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. What more can excite our senses, than the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and textures of food?
This is a picture of a wonderful restaurant in Montague, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is called "Windows on the Water". I had the pleasure of dining here on a family trip to PEI in the summer of 2009. It was highly recommended in one of our travel guides and we jumped at the chance to eat here. We had a delicious meal and excellent service, but what did it for me, was the magnificent bread pudding! Before we flew back home, we went out of our way to visit this restaurant again. I believe we drove 1 1/2 hours just to eat there. That's how much we loved it!
This is a picture of my husband holding a plate of the sinfully delicious bread pudding! I swore I would not rest until I came up with something just as good. That, or I would have to visit PEI more often for a fix of this delectable dessert!
