Desserts on Amtrak

Adjusting to life after vacation is hard, especially when the company you work for is going through a complicated merger. Work has been tough, but I wanted to take time to think back on a certain piece of cake that made my day on our trip back from Kissimmee on the Silver Meteor. Yum. The cheesecake wasn't bad, either!

Steak on a Train

Before we left on our trip, I had done quite a bit of research on Amtrak overnight train travel. One thing that became a recurring theme was that the folks at Amtrak knew how to make a delicious steak. On the Silver Star heading south, steak didn't appear on the dinner menu, although the pork loin was quite yummy. Heading north on the Silver Meteor, steak suddenly appeared on the dinner menu (!) and three out of four of us ordered it. We were not disappointed. Mine was prepared medium, and went well with a nice glass of shiraz.
