Saturday Night Special

We ate lunch at the tea room on the grounds of the lighthouse at Cape Forchu and topped it off with wedges of cheesecake in a tea cup with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry - the tiny tinker.
My eldest son noted, probably correctly, that with the exception of a slice of 13-layer cake - which was actually a mistake - he's never seen me order dessert out to eat before.
I said it was a special occasion because we were on vacation but I think it was really the appeal of alliteration.

my family and i recently road tripped out east to the maritimes. it is perhaps my favourite part of canada. cake at a lighthouse sounds divine!

Yes! dessert was delicious and my son's right - I never indulge.
The saleswoman at the lighthouse gift shop was talking up Newfoundland, my husband and I have always wanted to go there.

Sounds like a plan. If you get there before us you'll have to give us the inside scoop.
