Ha...got a little behind. :( One of my daughters text me last night and asked if I have nothing to be happy about anymore. lol Truth is...I was having such a wonderful weekend that I didn't take the time to get on the computer. What a shame, right?! he he he
So, quickly before I'm off to work...here's the run down:
Friday: Happiness is...
Having the day off.
Spending hours with Avery...making him laugh so hard! He's such a cutie!
Looking at paint chips. (I know, it sounds lame, but...I like colors and paint and creating something new)
Saturday:
Sleeping in!
Going to the most fabulous restaurant I've ever been to. The food was amazing! We tried the chefs tasting menu which was small portions of 5 different dishes. Here's what we had:
My husband:
bacon wrapped quail with forbidden rice caramelized oyster mushrooms and cherries
heirloom tomato salad with basil pesto, olive puree' and feta *(tie: My favorite of the night)
sauteed sea scallops with cauliflower couscous Chanterelle escabeche
pan roasted eye of rib-eye with sweet corn souffle and corn succotash and huitlacoche mole'
chocolate torte with blue berry sauce and chocolate lemon ice cream *(tie My favorite of the night)
Me:
house made potato gnocchi with Shitake mushrooms, leek and shaved parmesan
king crab salad with hearts of palm, watercress in palm sugar lime vinaigrette
grilled mahi-mahi with jasmine rice, shrimp, squash blossoms and black garlic *(Sheryl's favorite of the night)
8 hour pork roast with green onion risotto, jaliscan pico de gallo and natural pan sauce
berries and fruit tart with lemon curd and blackberry sorbet
I love surprises and every time they brought out a dish, it was like getting a present!
I can't wait to go again, but...have to save our money. :)
We went for our 9th Anniversary and that is something big to smile about! I can't believe how fast it has went.
Sunday: Sunday's are always wonderful, but...add in that I got to play some poker and well...that's a big smile. :)
I'm also a big fan of quality time and this weekend was so fulfilling. I desperately needed some alone time with my hubby and that gave me the emotional strength to start this week off with a bang!
Got to go!
I never order desert - and if it comes with the meal, it would never be one of my favorites. I can't believe that crazy chocolate torte... amazing. <3 U
ReplyDeleteI don't usually order desert either, but since I knew that it was included, I saved room for it.
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention this funny Sheryl moment. The waiter brought each dish and described what was in it. One of my dishes had green chick peas. After tasting it, I told the waiter that the chick peas tasted exactly like sweet peas. He responded by saying, well...there are peas in there also. Ha...imagine that..peas that taste like peas. :)
