Chapter 315 A Perilous Inheritance: #30

• Brasserie turned out to be around the corner, so they didn't have far to go. It was a very cozy place, reminiscent of an English pub with its wood wall paneling, but that's where the similarities to England ended. The menu was an eye opener of impossible choices, so they ordered everything that struck their eye: crispy fish cakes made with garden purslane, smoked lemon, smoked blackened local bilimbi remoulade; a smoked fish dip of avocado, cherry tomato & garden radish salad, charred lemon, with a grilled country baguette; Captain Lindo McGowan rainbow runner ceviche, a Cayman tomato aguachile, local cucumber, seasoning peppers, red onion, cilantro, and island crisps; an unbelievable Brasserie grilled cheese made with soft brie, white truffle, and spicy Cayman tomato jam. Even though they had already ordered more than enough, Zach couldn't resist and ordered the charcuterie platter, comprised of Serrano ham, chorizo Iberico, lomo Iberico, gran bavarese, aged manchego, raschera, greek olives, brasserie honey, spicy walnuts, and grilled sourdough. Krista chose a 2017 Marlborough Ponga Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand's south island to wash everything down with.
• By the time they gave up trying to eat any more, they had finished a second bottle of wine and had a large doggie bag of leftovers to take with them. Susan insisted on a taxi to the bank and Zach and Krista waited in the taxi while she went in, returning 10 minutes later, a big smile on her face.
• "There's that's settled," she said as she got in the taxi and they headed back to the resort.
