Now you see it...Now you don't...

California was so amazing it deserves two posts!  John and I went to San Francisco, California along with our travel buddies (my cousin Matt and his girlfriend Raquel).  We went to visit my cousin Joe and his fiance, Betsy.  Let me give you some background on them... Joe has many degrees but my most favorite is his degree from the Culinary Institute of America.  He now has created many products, including The Best Rice In the World (click for amazingness). Betsy also went to culinary school for baking and is officially a baking goddess after I tasted her blueberry cobbler. To make a long story short, our time in San Francisco (and a mini - vaca while there to Napa) was nothing short of an amazing time. To sum up our weekend we ate and ate and ate and drank some wine and ate and ate some more. They both knew exactly where to take us to have the most amazing meals,  and while we were eating we were planning the next meal.

My first post will be about a dessert that we had while we were dining in Napa.  Betsy and Joe picked a place called, Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen. The food was phenomenal, but little did we know the dessert would be even better.  They made this dessert called Campfire Pies.  It is hands down a huge piece of heaven. It had an oreo cookie crust, fudgy chocolate, a little almond, and toasted marshmallow fluff.

 S'mores have a little history with John, Matt, Raquel and I because we seem to make it every place we go (even wedding after parties). Knowing this, Joe and Betsy planned this dinner solely around this dessert.

We ended up ordering 2...
best reaction ever!
and it was probably gone under 5 minutes....
