For Mother's Day, my wonderful parents and I had dinner at Chapter One at the Artist Village in DTSA. The aesthetic of this little nook fit the name in its entirety; everything was set up like a library! There were shelves built in the walls, and even the podium was a card catalog. For all of you kids who have grown up with the convenience of computers, these are the little shelves that held cards used to find books, before one could simply type in a simple phrase and get exactly what they need. The food was amazing and in just the right portions. My mother and I both split the mac and cheese and the Thai noodles.

The best part, however, was dessert. We got the Soft Chocolate (soft chocolate ganache, chocolate soil, soy caramel, friend wontons, & sesame powder), and the Yuzu Tart (Eggless yuzu curd, pate sucre crumble, grapefruit, green tea meringue, and strawberry coulis.) Don't these photos, let alone just their descriptions, look and sound amazing! I'll will need to revisit soon. Although, this was before my second attempt at veganism, which is going well so far!
