Our group came up with the Snickers Shooter. Originally, I had the Caramel Soup from Cyrus in mind, and since I always thought that it would have been better as a small serving, I wanted to make it in something like a shot glass. But a lack of popping corn kernels led us to consider other ingredients, and we decided to put nougat ice cream (vanilla base with honey and an infusion of peanuts) in a very small cup, put a small lattice of chocolate piped from a paper cone on top, top that with salted honey roasted peanuts, and then pour caramel sauce over it all, so that the lattice would melt and it would be like a shot of dessert soup. I loved the way it tasted (like a Snickers), and it had a nice mix of textures and temperatures. The only problem was that it could not be taken as a shot — no matter how long you tilted the cup and your head back– but eating it with a spoon was fine.

I can't wait to have that cheese again (and try their other varieties)... and the menu at Farmhouse Inn looks fantastic. I also found out that Andante is at the SF Ferry Building every Saturday, and it's sold at Oakville Grocery... and served at the Martini House, where I'll be Friday night. :) Lisa — Thank you!!!!!!!

I've had several of their cheeses at The Farmhouse Inn (Forestville) and they're great! The dairy I think you’re referring to (amazing goat cheese) is Andante Dairy.
