Wow, that sounds soooooo good. I need to start pulling together a menu - want to cook a nice dinner for the evening of Jan 1 when Soren gets home from Japan. I promised him maple syrup creme brulee. Gotta figure out what first and second courses would nicely compliment that ... hmm

Though I did have a humboldt fog cheesecake at Azie on Christmas Eve that makes me want to try something more adventurous...
