Rosie's desserts

We're usually so thoroughly stuffed after meals at Rosie's that we fail to order dessert. Tonight was an exception. Anna, Tori and I were eating dinner without the boys, as they were busy with football. We felt we still had just a little room left after our main courses and made some choices from the dessert menu. Our three selections were fantastic. (I really must remember to bring my camera with me to restaurants so I can share at least the look of the food.)
I had the Brownie Sundae, a hot fudge sundae loaded with terrific vermont whipped cream and served on a chewy brownie. Anna had the Chocolate Cream Pie, of course, though I thought for a second she might try the Lemon Meringue. Tori went for the Toll House Pie. That was truly special. Toll House Pie is essentially a pie made out of cookie dough baked into a pastry shell. Tori had hers warmed and served with a scoop of ice cream. I had to try a little piece. It called to mind the wonderful Cookie Skillet served (on an actual skillet) at the Mister Ups restaurant in Middlebury, but the cookie at Rosie's was more completely baked and airy.
Desserts are definitely not an after-thought at Rosie's.
