(I'm more than a little behind, this should have been posted Thursday night, and all the entries that have been rolling around my head will continue to do so)
I could think of no better way to celebrate(/honor?) his birthday than with a dinner at
Millennium. Everything I've ever had there was FANTASTIC, and all of it happens to be vegetarian (in fact, most of it is vegan).
[Thursday night]'s meal just kept getting better and better, and dessert was an exquisite confection I would have been too wary to try anywhere else (they're known for bringing together odd tastes that just work in ways that are indescribable!)
I had:
Zucchini Napoleon
layers of corn-orange cauliflower salad & lemon macadamia nut "cheese",
basil-garlic oil, sweet pepper "cream"
Blackberry BBQ Tempeh
warm roasted corn, sweet pepper & brown rice salad, orange vinaigrette
ginger cucumber pickle, toasted pecans
Terrine of Avocado & Lemon Ice Cream
Pasolivo extra virgin olive oil,
red Hawai‘ian sea salt, lemon vanilla bean syrup
