Dinner Date

image display
Andrew and I thoroughly enjoyed a nice, long dinner at one of our favorite Jackson restaurants - Julep - last night.  Thanks to a gift certificate from his folks as part of our Christmas, we got every single thing we wanted...and it was wonderful!

I started with a Wedding Cake Martini - yes it smelled and tasted like wedding cake!
We shared Shrimp Toast - think butter, cheese, herbs, shrimp on a think slice of wheat bread...toasted...
For main course I had their world famous Fried Chicken (perfect blend of savory in the breading with a honey rosemary glaze) and Andrew had the Filet - which of course was fork tender and Ah-mazing...
Then to finish things off, Andrew had Banana Fosters Bread Pudding with the all important rum sauce and ice cream and I had Derby Pie with Chocolate and Bourbon Sauce and hearty scoop of ice cream!!

Needless to say - it was wonderful!  Mrs. Susan (Mom) - Mr. Charlie (Dad) - thanks a million!!!  But Tucker said we are in trouble because we didn't bring home any leftovers for him!

Sorry - no pictures of the food we had...but see the burlap checker board pattern - I am going to do that in my house one day - on a smaller scale but still it will happen

Bailey and Annie said that THEY gave you the gift certificate and they are glad Tucker didn't get leftovers. LOL

So glad you all enjoyed the evening and had a date night. :-)
