Chris and I just got back from one of the best meals we have ever had. Certainly the best since our DINK days. At a hotel restaurant no less.
Tonight is our night of decadence. We are actually staying in a hotel, rather than in an AirB&B place and so with that spirit we went ALL OUT at dinner. First course, the Mussles and Frites. And when I say muscles, I dont mean the 15-20 measly shells you get at an American restaurant, even a good place. I mean a mountain of muscles that literally took us 30-minutes to eat, each of us going full steam ahead. Then the fish soup, super tasty esspecially with the crusty bread they brought. Next came the lamb stew with couscous pilaf. Lamb was raised in the way of the region (something special with being raised in the salt marshes). Of course there was the cheese course (I sat that one out...too stinky) and finally, dessert. Creme Brule and Crepes 3 ways (with chocolate sauce, home made caramel paste and lemon butter). Relatively certain that I have gained 5 lbs tonight but it was worth it. Oh, and, although Lilah sang loudly and threw stuff off of her high chair at least 100 times, she did let us get through a 2 HOUR formal dinner, flirted with both of our waiters and caused no permanent damage to anything at all, even the stuff we accidentally let into the splash zone. All in all a perfect day.
