The dessert I will never live down!

Our family just got back from a wonderful vacation. We drove to Rob's parent's house on Friday, spent the night and dropped the kids off. On Saturday Rob and I drove to New York until Thursday. Rob had work things going on and I just tagged along with some other wives. We did some really fun things and I will post those pictures later. However, I feel like this story deserved its own post. On Sunday we went to eat at a really nice steak place. There was a group off 30 of us, so we got to eat in the basement in the wine cellar. That was really neat. After the meal, everyone ordered dessert. I ordered a "piece" of chocolate mouse cake. (You know me and chocolate.) When I saw the waitress walk in the room with this "piece" of cake, my heart stopped. I was really hoping it was not my "piece". Of course it was and wouldn't you know it, I was the only one out of 30 people to order this dessert. You will see by the picture below why I was so mortified...

No lie, it was the 2ND biggest piece of cake I have ever seen. (The first was the Velvet cake at the Hotel Del Coronado.) The chocolate cake could have fed at least 6 people. Again, you know me and chocolate so I ate about 1/4 of it.

So if that isn't bad enough the next night when we were out to eat, with the majority of the same people and some new faces, it was dessert time again. Next thing I know, the waiter sits an entire chocolate mouse cake down in front of me and says, "This is from the lady at that table," and points to Linda. (A woman Rob works with that sat at our table the night before.) Now I was really embarrassed. It really was funny and it just goes to show the kind of fun people Rob works with.
