Anniversary Dinner

Stephen surprised me tonight.  I knew we were going out to dinner for our anniversary, but I had no idea where we were going.  We went to the Fig Tree Restaurant at the Lucas House.  It was quite the dining experience.
Foie Gras- Stephen has always wanted to try it.
Pan Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras over Apple Bread Pudding with Butter Sauce
My entree- Veal Chop 
Grilled Provimi Veal Chop and Jumbo Shrimp over Smashed Fingerling Potatoes with Cremini Mushrooms, Capers and Sherry Garlic Butter Sauce with Asparagus

Stephen was brave and tried the Elk Chop
Grilled New Zealand Elk Chop with Smoked Bacon-Braised Cabbage, Potato Gratin and Boursin Dijon Cream Sauce 
Beignets- in my opinion the best part!
They wrote Happy Anniversary in Chocolate :)
 served Warm with Cinnamon Crême Anglaise and Vanilla Gelato

I love the Charlotte skyline- view on our drive home
I want to grow old with this man!
Special thanks to Stephen's parents for keeping the girls so we could celebrate.  They really spoil us!
