Celebrating the yabbit and the yabbitman (NVR)

Tomorrow is our 24th WA so we are celebrating today because tomorrow is my busy day of the week. I love where we're going, it's the restaurant of a beautiful hotel AND they now have vegetarian/vegan food on the menu!

We are going out for a special meal today so I am currently wearing a long wool skirt in a muted purple plaid (prettier than it sounds), black tights and shoes, pale lilac blouse and my heavy amethyst pendant and earrings. Yup, purple is my favourite colour. I even went and had my hair styled.

I feel beautiful.

(Note: the wine was very special, very good...like raspberry/strawberry/currant all mixed together. Haute cuisine at its finest.)

Congrats, yabbit (and yabbitman). Not many people these days make it to year 5 much less year 24. Glad your special meal lived up to your expectations! Here's to at least 24 more years! *raises glass for a toast* :)

Awww, thanks, group...no happy tears on here so,  :-* :) ;)
Since DH is 62 and I am 45 (and pretty much defenseless in the modern world), I take every day, every week, as a great gift. It cracks me up that I have lived to be 45, if I had stayed in the situation I was in at college, I doubt I would have made it this far. I mean, grey hair! I ask you!  ;D

The hotel's restaurant has  returned its great cooking tradition, after a couple of years of "nouvelle bore". (You know, little heaps of stuff, pretty on the plate but not much to eat, all drizzled with an anonymous "coulis". Advice: If you see the word "coulis" on a menu, run do not walk out the door.  ;D) AND there was a gluten-free as well as a veg*n menu! The salad I had as first course was mongo big and very good...I would never have thought of that combination of hearts of lettuce, tomato, red cabbage and a sauté of onions and carrots, with an olive here and there! It actually did work! Plus the "confit" of artichokes--no duck fat, just a caramelised sort of onion-mushroom sauce over good chokes...hard to describe but delish!

AND they haven't raised their prices since last year. What more can I ask for a 4 star restaurant?

Ah yes, the goose from Charlotte's Web. That made me smile!  ;)
And today it is RAINING. What a gift! We needed it something awful, and it stopped just long enough to dash out and run some errands, and now it's back.
Bliss.

Congratulations Yabbitgirl! 

We're one ahead of you and I wore turquoise because it makes me feel happy with hugely impracticable silver slippers because ditto.  I love having been married for a long time.
