food, glorious food...while we're in the mood

When I was in the 6th grade, I was in the High School musical production of "Oliver". I played an orphan, and I never forgot the words to the song "Food, glorious food". I sing it in my head once in a while, and I think about it whenever I eat a really good dish. Speaking of a really good dish...

In January, I went with some friends to Boise to celebrate Amanda's birthday. We spent two nights there, and had a grand ole time. While we were there, we ate at our favorite Boise eatery: The Cheesecake Factory. We always eat there whenever we are celebrating an occasion. We love their cheesecakes, and their super large, super delicious entrees.

I was in the mood for something different on that trip to The Cheesecake Factory, and I had such a hard time deciding on what to order off their 24-page menu. I decided on a whim to order the Lettuce Wraps. And that was the best decision I made that entire weekend. It was SOOOOO delicious.

I thought about my lettuce wraps later that night as I was consuming my red velvet cheesecake. I thought about them again the following day as we were driving home to Salmon. I thought about them  the next week as I ate food from the school cafeteria. I loved that meal so much, that I can remember the taste of those wraps even now, two months after consuming them.

And I'm craving some of those delicious lettuce wraps from the Cheesecake Factory right about now...
