Eating Our Dessert First

While I was in Utah, Laura decided we really needed to eat at this cool place called The Chocolate located on State Street in Orem.   So while Laura's downstairs neighbor watched the kids.  (Thanks, Hillary!), Natalie, Kara, Laura, and I went to get dessert there around 2:00.    The actual place is a pretty old house.   This is a picture of the sign. 

It's a small bakery/cafe. The rooms are simple yet beautifully decorated with sofas and tables.   You order your food, find a room to get comfortable in, and they bring your order to your table.

We relaxed for awhile on the sofa in the "blue room" until our food came.  Yes, we only ordered desserts!

First we had a mint brownie, turtle brownie, fruit tart, and caramel tart. Then two glasses of milk to go with a cookie baked in a little pan with a scoop of ice cream on top.   It's called a cazookie!

Boy was everything delicious!  Needless to say, we were pretty full and not really ready to eat dinner at the usual time.   Eventually hunger won, and besides, there was another new place in Orem we just had to try, so we went to Cafe Paesan, a unique Italian Bistro where they serve cafeteria style, and everything is fresh.  I love eating in Orem.   Of course the best eating of all is right there in Laura's kitchen.  Among other things, she makes some amazing pizza!   We also had some delicious fajitas one night.  Laura got the recipe from Real Simple.com.    It's definitely one I'd  love to try again.
