Leftovers at The Cabin Cafe

Virtual shot from The Cabin Cafe

Okay, so tonight we had the leftover, veggie meatless loaf (unique array of veggies), veggie gravy (fabulous), and mashed potatoes (1/2 redskin and 1/2 yam-melt in your mouth). The loaf's spices after two days were much more potent and in a way, just right in the same way they were freshly made and Chef Dimakos added some artistic touches to the presentation so not to make it obvious that, indeed we were eating leftovers.  The gravy, having had time to meld, sent my olfactory senses into an explosion of scents and tastes that resembled "newness" yet seasoned, perfectly.  The combo mashed potatoes color of light pumpkin added the ultimate touch to the already, colorful plate of delectable delights.

The meal, atmosphere (like no other, except in the mountains) and the company were a splendid way to end a fabulous day.

Home Cooked Food At The Cabin Cafe

I was so full last night that I couldn't write this post until this morning. Chef Dimakos created a sumptuous Greek meal of Spanakopita, Spinach Soup with Israeli Couscous, (never have I tasted a soup that was orgasmic), Greek Salad with his signature dressing and for dessert...you guessed it, Baklava!

Well, now you can understand why I was a wet noodle after this feast, but ohhhh, the tastes are still lingering.
Yes, the snow is melting and look who showed up under the bench in the front of The Cabin Cafe.

Liquid Salad, Veggie Meatless Loaf, Gravy and Mashed Potatoes

Scene outside The Cabin Cafe tonight.

Wow! What a fabulous dinner, Chef Dimakos cooked for us tonight. The first course, liquid salad was sweet and very, very green-delicious. The meatless loaf comprised of string beans, sliced carrots, oats, tofu, sesame seeds and other secret ingredients tasted like no other veggie loaf I've had in all my 34 years of being a vegetarian and to top it all off, joined by perfectly thick gravy and combo mashed potatoes (redskins and yams) was a delectable treat that I will long salivate over, again and again.  All the comfort food I could eat.
