Well, even though it was a Thursday and both of us had work today, my wonderful husband took me out to Green Valley Grill for tea. We got there around 7pm, and were seated immediately, as Grahams had the forethought to ring for a reservation a couple of days earlier. They seated us and we commenced to ordering. Leave it to me to pick the most expensive thing on the menu, but it just looked too good to pass up, and being as it was our anniversary, Grahams was a good sport. We also decided to have a cocktail for starters; Graham had a glass of Sonoma Hill Cabernet and I decided to be adventurous and try a specialty martini, a little number known as "Sealed with a Kiss". It was a blend of Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur (yum!) and vodka, in a glass lined with chocolate and a Hershey's kiss in place of an olive. It was rather delish. Entrees arrived, Graham had the surf (trout) and I had the turf (filet mignon). I'd asked for medium-well, but got it well done instead, but it was still lovely, so I couldn't complain. For afters, Graham had Creme Brulee and I had a "Frozen Nutty Irishman" which is described as "chocolate cake layered with Irish cream mousse and crushed English toffee, finished with crème anglaise and chocolate sauce". It was extremely nice. With dessert we had some of their wonderful "CostaMala" coffee, which is always a treat.
After the lovely supper, we headed back to the house and opened a bottle of our current favourite wine - the Sebastiani Cabernet and watched a few episodes of Bottom before heading off to bed.
A very nice 5th anniversary - we both agreed we'd like to have another 5 years or so, just for the heck of it. :)
