Belated Wedding Anniversary

Tim & I finally went out to celebrate our belated 5 year wedding anniversary tonight. Our meal at JiRaffe was perfect & so I don't forget it I wanted to record our selections here:

• Slow Roasted Organic Tomato Tart -Roasted pistachio-honey tart shell, balsamic onion confit, fresh burrata cheese, ratatouille sauce, basil pesto
• Purple Peruvian Gnocchi - Fresh East Coast rock shrimp, roasted purple pearl onions, mandarin cross tomato concassé, herb infused tomato nage
• Prime NY Bistro Steak - Potato puree, roasted cherry tomatoes, sautéed fennel, roasted shitake mushroom, white wine veal reduction
• Bouillabaise - "fish stew" of clams, mussels, crab legs, shrimp, rock shrimp, swordfish, salmon, fennel, fingerling potatoes, toasted bread with cheese
  
• Butterscotch Bread Pudding - Layers of butterscotch and cream soaked brioche, baked and served warm with espresso ice cream and chocolate sauce

Even better than our evening was Matilda's, who got to play at Marie & Eric's house all night long complete with her best buddy, Molly, a sweet puppy for lots of loving, a gourmet dinner of shrimp and crab pasta, some painting time and chocolate dessert!
