bedeviled mojo slop

My birthday dinner was nothing short of super spectacular. Dinner was at the Inn at Erlowest on Lake George. Here's a little bit about their menu (my emphasis).

The dining room offers 3 options of menus, a Grand Tasting menu, Vegetable Tasting Menu, and an à la Carte menu. All menus change daily depending on the ingredients available by some of the best produce, fish, meats, and dairy producers in the Northeast and New England.

I'd like to think the menu was created just for me. In fact, let's go with that. It wasn't even a consideration to order from the a la Carte menu, so it was the Grand Tasting menu. And, of course, the additional wine pairing. Wow ... I mean ... wow. Here's the Grand Tasting menu from August 26, 2005.
