WOW, I cannot believe it has been a whole year... everyone was right, it does fly. We had a wonderful anniversary week. It begin on Friday, Dan sent me beautiful flowers to work :)
We thawed the old wedding cake- SURPRISINGLY, it was not too bad. especially the inner pieces of it. Now, we did not eat a whole piece or anything but it was not too bad at all to be a whole year old (except being a tad smushed)
Then, we left on a whirlwind trip to one of our favorite cities- New Orleans. We did not have a lot of time, but we definitely made the most of it by riding the train there and back. It was so fun and easy... we brought our own cooler and drank champagne! It was wonderful- I highly recommend it! When we got to New Orleans, we ate a almost 3-hour dinner at the best restaurant- Emeril's NOLA. it was ah-maz-ing. Here is a photo of our deserts- they came with a candle on them for our anniversary. I had the trio of Creme Brulee, Dan had Banana Pudding Pie.
So, then last weekend, my Mom, Dad, Sister and Mimi sent us to the Viking Cooking School in Greenwood, MS. It was fabulous. It was called "Classic Steakhouse"
Mushroom Caps stuffed with Crab Imperial
Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon with Béarnaise
Oven-Roasted Asparagus
Twice-Baked Tall Potatoes
Iceberg Wedge with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
Bananas Foster
We spent the night across the street at the Alluvian. Also wonderful- if you have never stayed there, do yourself a favor. The hotel is like none other in Mississippi, that is for sure. The breakfast is so amazing..... just all around wonderful.
