The scenery of cacti and succulents everywhere greets you as you sit down at the straw and granite tables in matching chairs. The cool wind blows on your face pleasantly as you take your first bit of turkey. It lands on your mouth delicately as you chomp through the crispy skin, down to the tender spatchcocked meat, and finally into the polenta mushroom stuffing, which you can get all on its own delicately placed on your plate. As you move on from the turkey and stuffing, your eyes immediately fall on the green chards and carmelized sweet onions. As they touch your tongue, the soft greens veer you from everything else, and as soon as that pleasure begins, the sweet yet still sharp onions bring you back gradually into reality. They prepare you for the sweet, starchy yet creamy whitish golden sweet potatoes. In the same dish bright orange yams dissolve pleasantly on your tongue and as they go down. They end your whole meal perfectly, but as you decide you are happily full, a delectable pumpkin smell drifts through your body, and you change the status of your happily full belly. It now has just the right amount of room for a nice big slice of pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream. As soon as the pumpkin pie hits your tongue, you are in a completely different atmosphere. The cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves complement the pumpkin custard very nicely. This pumpkin pie is the creamiest you can find. Rich with half and half and a touch of molasses it leaves just the right feeling in your mouth afterwards.
