At the Ritz

I had a lovely time today lunching at the Ritz with friends. It was like being on vacation because when I looked out the windows from the dining room over the pool area to the water, I didn't recognize what I was looking at. I could have been anywhere in the world. It was a delightful feeling.

This photo is the remains of our shared desert - doughnut holes. They were reminiscent of the New Orleans Beignets, crispy and chewy, with loads of powdered sugar, and served in a brown bag so you could shake them and really coat them . Yum, yum.
