My car was still in the shop last Monday when I had to return to Minnesota, so I drove my dad's car up. This weekend, he drove up to trade cars...and, of course, to take me out to dinner.

We went to Tangled Up in Blue, a splendidly atmospheric restaurant in Taylors Falls, a tiny town on the shore of the St. Croix River.

Towns on rivers always seem so much more alive to me than land-locked places - the river is a gateway to elsewhere.



(The sculpture behind our table there - you can see its foot in the first photo, behind the candle - portrays a beaked creature jamming on a guitar, and dances if you touch it.)

They had a flourless dark chocolate torte that looked amazing, but I got bananas Foster for dessert because I've never had it before. They flamed it right at the table, and the brown sugar and butter cooked into a splendid thick caramel sauce.

You should have just had the cake instead of dinner, with bananas Foster for dessert.

You could always make some. Setting things on fire...always a good way to start the day!
