This week's topic was brought to you by Kim, over at Kimbofo. I have to tell you people, just trying to pick one thing made me so hungry. Thanks so much Kim for submitting the topic! I look forward to seeing all of the responses!

What is your most memorable meal? Why?

That growling you hear is my stomach. There were several meals to choose from, but if I had to pick my favorite, it would be one of them from our honeymoon.

For the first week, we stayed at the Lake Quinalt Lodge, located in Washington. It was beautiful. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. There were no phones in the rooms, and there was only one big screen TV in the bar, in which the sound was broken. There was a huge bearskin rug in front of the fireplace in our room. The only restaurant was located near the lake, and each table had a fantastic view. It really didn't matter where you sat, because you could see everything.

They had a special for honeymooners, in which you could have a free meal, from top to bottom, no matter what the cost. I remember this because I had Fillet Mignon and LOBSTER. I don't know if I had ever, or have since, tasted such a wonderful meal. The atmosphere only added to the perfection.

I'm sure alot of it had to do with being newly married, but much of it was due to the ambience that the lodge had created. I remember we ate at the same restaurant most evenings, and we always waited for a table at the window because we wanted to have the very best of views.

Some days I wish I could go back to that day, but it probably wouldn't be as special as I remember it. I would just assume leave the memories as they are, and bask in new love, which has only become stronger and deeper as time has gone on.
