Strawberry pancake. Found this in Bernice, Oklahoma (Grand Lake of The Cherokees) at a little place called Poppy's. Excellent flavor and texture. Best one I have ever tasted.

Melting chocolate dessert from Auberge de la Reine Blanche, Ile St. Louis, Paris


AND the winner is Chocolate bowls with chocolate-orange mousse!
Of course homemade peach pie wins hands down!
That's Peach cobbler, not pie - I can tell by the (perfectly golden and crusty-edged) top - and I agree - it's the winner!
No,No,No, No! The Real Winners are that New York Fried Chicken,and that Candied Pecans and Nuts in Venice!
Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum Yum!
if you could taste this pancake i had at Poppy's in Bernice, OK....u would change your mind : )
