12 Years Later

It's been 12 years and 4 days since Greg and I met.  Hard to believe how much has changed in 12 years and 4 days.

Because we met on the 15th of February, we tend to celebrate Valentines Day on the 15th.  It usually works to our advantage.  This year, we went out to the OXO Tower for dinner and drinks.  Our pre-dinner drinks were awesome.  Greg had some smokey bourbon and rye drink.  And when I say smokey -- I really mean smokey.  It was crazy how much the drink smelled like you were sticking your nose inside a meat smoker.  I had this funky apple cinnamon brandy & bitters drink that was really good.  The starter drinks were way better than the actual starters.  I had queen scallops that were most definitely not queen sized.  They were tiny.  And not really all that inspiring.  Greg had some crab dish -- but it was sweet.  And stuffed inside a weird sweet potato fruit roll up thingy.  Odd.  We both ordered fillet... the cuts were beautiful but they were both overcooked.  Boo.  Boo.  Boo.  The waiter even tried to convince us that it was the blue lights in the restaurant that made the steaks 'look' overcooked -- but we both still know they WERE overdone.  Dessert was a four pieced chocolate delight.  Yum.... And of course, the ambiance and location were great.

We finished the night at Dandelyan.  That was another adventure.  Unique to say the least... my drink really did taste like it had flowers inside it.  Loved the bar.  Think I'll order wine next time!

Regardless -- here's to our next 12 years.  :)
