It might be hard to tell what's in the next picture but it's warm apple cobbler a la mode with a big cookie sticking in the center of it. I heard about this Winter-oriented dessert several months ago and finally got to try it. On a day that was colder than any day in the preceding week this dessert transported me from the aforementioned Mexican ranch to the snow-covered mountains, where after a long day of skiing or snowboarding you return to a log cabin, kick off your boots, and warm up with some cobbler prepared with lots of tender, loving care in a Dutch oven and heated in the fireplace. And then I snapped out of it and realized it was time to head back to my work at a desk making websites...
While there I talked with Gabbi herself for a while and she told me the apple cobbler is about to disappear from the dessert menu and soon be replaced with more Spring-oriented desserts such as passionfruit souffle and white chocolate berry tres leches. Looking forward to trying those...
Gabbi and I also talked about a couple other Mexican restaurants in the county and found out we think alike on each one we discussed. We also agreed that sometimes you've just got to get away from Mexican food and have some good sushi.

I know what you mean - there never seems to be enough time to eat at all the new restaurants I want to try and still get back to my old favorites. Oh wait, there's hardly time to go out to eat at all most weeks, what am I thinking?
I especially regret not getting to Gabbi's more often, which is due largely to how much further away it is than many other options. The sopes you show look delicious - I like your description, too: even though I'm not exactly doing hard labor, I still feel tired at the end of the day and appreciate some home (tasting) cooking!
So does Gabbi's have a sign yet?
Nope, no sign yet. Meant to take a picture of the still signless front.
