Ok, Oak this was my restaurant supper this evening ...an addendum to my earlier post today. At a restaurant to help train culinary and hospitality students at a college:

a cherry tomato amusee bouche with some sort of cheese filling
appetizer: smoke salmon over curried pancake with cilantro yogurt sauce
pear-ginger juice drink
grilled trout with tomato, pine nuts and herbs over a sort of broccoli (looks close to Chinese gai lan, but not quite)
ginger peach crumble with cardamon spiced topping (artfully served in a little tartlet shape instead of usual jumbly mess)

Menu is not overly fattening,but methinks whole day added up to alot.
All students dressed in their serving whites, etc.
I'm happy above all, to have caught up with good ole friend on news.
