Our Anniversary










Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary. We actually celebrated last night with dinner & jazz at a nice restaurant downtown Charlotte called "Blue". It was fabulous! Here's what we had & I snapped a few pics also.

Appetizers: "Jumbo Diver Scallops wrapped in Prosciutto & over a fava bean puree & lemon marmalade". Ron picked the best appetizer. I ordered "A pastry Crisp Moroccan Chicken Briouat w/Aprioct & Cashews. It's chicken breast & veggies w/fresh ginger & spicy sweet charmoula dipping sauce."

We both had a "poached pear & baby arugula salad w/candied walnuts & gorgonzola dolce." That was very tasty!

For the main course Ron ordered the best. He ordered beef tenderloin. Pan seared & topped w/gorgonzola dolce & onion marmalade w/pancetta & spring pea risotto. YUMMY.
I got Mediterranean Sea bass w/fresh herbs, artichokes(don't like) & pear tomatoes served w/lemon & spinach orzo.

For dessert, we ordered "Cake di Chocolate w/ a warm molten center & vanilla bean ice cream. It was soooooo good, but by then I was so stuffed I could only eat a few bites~
If you noticed a martini in the picture, it was called the "Mediterranean Blue Martini" It was sooo yummy too!!!

Ron cut some yellow roses from our rose bush also. I have them on my end table...they smell so good!!!
