A beautiful Saturday
March 23, 2010
The place: Sonoma
...wandering around abandoned vineyards.
When: Definitely Spring. This past Saturday to be more specific.
...cherry trees in bloom.
... baby figs.
What: an afternoon of relaxation & a bit of fun.
...realized I am hardly ever in the pics of where we go.
Destination: The Girl & the Fig
...can you even believe that there is a such a place an hour from my home and I have never been there??
My drink: A Fig Royale
... my new favorite drink.
My date: My husband
Our dinner: Flounder in a brown butter & fried caper sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes and spinach.
...uummmm, do I really need to say anything else?
Skirt Steak with a wine and veal reduction with fingerling potatoes and spring greens
...eric had a hard time parting with more than one bite of this one.
The occasion: 15th wedding anniversary
.... Apparently 15 years is crystal. Who knew?
We'll definitely be back... sooner than is probably expected.
It was a perfect afternoon.
Love you honey.
Oh my god that looks amazing. My mouth is watering and I have only just had my tea!
Happy Anniversary x

The Girl and the Fig has lovely flavored salt that I am sort of adicted to. Not to mention the food.
