A wonderful picture Dave! And congrats to you both. That venue and food seems just perfect for the occasion. May you have many more of those little dine-outsThanks for the 'congrats' - hard to believe where the time has gone - and SO many trips & eats along the way - a pic of us below on our wedding day exactly 44 yrs ago (ceremony in West Orange, NJ - honeymoon, a week in Bermuda) - Dave

Thanks Andrew - I cannot believe we use to look that young (both 24 y/o then) -
Last night our anniversary dinner @ home - Susan roasted some Cornish Game Hens (kind of a misnomer, i.e. a hybrid chicken about 4-5 weeks old - we love them!) - shared a bottle on New York State sparkling wine (part of our Dr. Frank shipment) - excellent as is (a Blanc de Noir) - Susan added some peach schnapps (so basically a Bellini cocktail) - Dave

BOY - nearly a month after the last post here and made by me w/ no LIKES - 
Well tonight, I was the 'grill man'! Quite simple, i.e. salmon seasoned w/ some 'coastal rub' (will provide the recipe for those interested) - grilled on medium heat w/ smoking hickory/apple wood - just needed about 12 minutes w/ the salmon on cedar planks - delicious! Susan sautéed some spinach and added some Costco Italian cheese - wine for me,an Oregon 2010 Pinot Noir (my preference w/ salmon & tuna) - ate on our porch w/ music by Paul Desmond & Jim Hall on my iPod - Dave

We just came back from a Ski trip in Northern Michigan of which we ate at this quaint restaurant called "Piersens" on the grounds of Boyne Mountain. This is one of the dishes I ordered. Their version of a Greek Salad with a big chunk of feta on top. Quite a presentation and very good too!
It's almost, but not quite, too good to eat.
I guess saying that you were late for a meeting because you had a flat tire takes on a whole new meaning.

The Greek salad looks great! I'm assuming the beer was Fat Tire (Ft. Collins, CO) - sold locally here; BUT if 'Flat Tire', then I've never had one yet -

The waiter and the bar tender kept calling it "flat" tire...so I wonder if it is a locally brewed beer.

Hey Ski..... - well, I googled 'flat tire beer' and did get some hits! I love trying local microbrews - we have about a hundred breweries/brewpubs in North Carolina (and expanding)! Dave

Susan & I are taking our first vacation of the new year - we are in southern Florida east coast (specifically the Ft. Lauderdale area above Miami Beach) - left Saturday morning in the rain and 45 degrees F. - arrived in FL in the sun and low 80s - WOW!
Last night we ate @ our hotel for convenience but the dinner was great - started by sharing a dozen oysters on the half shell. We both ordered the 'catch of the day'; Susan had the grouper w/ a grit cake; I had the whole headless snapper which was butterflied w/ the bones removed over a wonderful risotto - split a dessert, i.e. keylime pie (their version) w/ a scoop of ice cream that was like vanilla but w/ some additional flavorings (made 'in house'). Dave

) What a great way to escape winter for a while!Andrew
