Will there be an engagement ring in the dessert?

That might be a bit hasty.....but if they both just happened to be sitting in the chairs beneath the mistletoe, well.........

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you reading along .

I am super excited about our stop in NF both on our way to Buffalo and on our way home. Judging from the change in the weather over the last few days the colours should be out in full force by then. Should be stunningly pretty!

Since you're a Buffalonian, can you tell me.....is the Cheesecake Factory any good? That was our planned dinner on the night we arrive.

I LOVE the Cheesecake factory. My go-to is the chicken Marsala, so yummy! While the food is very good, obvious from the name, the cheesecake is to die for. I highly recommend the tiramisu cheesecake!!

The galleria mall actually just opened up a Dave and Busters too, so you can grab some drinks and play some games after dinner too!

The Cheesecake Factory is excellent. Skip the meal and just have the cheesecake, the slices are huge. They have a couple of peanut butter/chocolate ones including a Resse's something or other. They usually have a Pumpkin pie one in Oct/Nov as well. It's really hard to choose...they have many, many many kinds.

Note: every time we've been there the wait to get a table was pretty long.

Confession time: I don't like cheesecake. In fact, I despise it. Cream cheese makes me gag.....ditto to sour cream and yogurt. I share the same palate with my dad, who also had a deep disgust for the aforementioned. He always used to tell us "If God meant us to eat sour milk, he would have soured it in the cow".

Steve, on the other hand, ADORES cheesecake. It's his favourite dessert without question. He is going to have a painfully difficult time in choosing what flavour to order (if we counted correctly, there's something crazy like 30+ kinds!?!?!) but I'll be sticking with the non-cheesed versions of their cakes.

Yes, I'm weird. I'll own it .

Yeah, we were kind of expecting that we might have a bit of a wait before being seated. I wonder if they have any kind of a pager system where we can wander the mall while we await a table for two?

They do have a pager system, but you can't go much farther than just outside the restaurant

Thanks for the info! I guess we will just have to pack our patience then . Sounds like it will be worth the wait, anyway .

Don't get me wrong. I love cheese.....on a pizza. In a lasagna. In a sandwich. Stuffed in the middle of a chicken breast.

And I love cake (a fact to which my hips will attest ). Chocolate, white, marble, black forest.....even coffee cake.

But I don't like cheese in my cake. I also don't like carrots in my cake. Or zucchini. Vegetables and cheese do not have a place in my dessert.

And don't even get me started on cream cheese icing .

At long last, some good news on the car rental front . By applying a different coupon to my existing Alamo reservation, we dropped the price from $161 to $142 . This also means I can go ahead and cancel the Budget reservation (which we weren't keen on, since you don't get to pick your own car) .

In the grand scheme of the cost of our vacation, it's just a little drop, but hey....I'll take it .

cheese danish?

Well.... I'm not sure that we can be inlaws with this cheese thing. What if the grandbabies inherit the anti cheese gene? Not that I'm that in to cheese cake but....no carrot cake with cream cheese icing????? That's a deal breaker.
