we went to cafe juanita for my 42 birthday dinner. my gosh it was good. sarah gave us the table by the fireplace. the guys at CJ refer to that table as the 'engagement table' since it seems so many young couples get engaged while sitting there. it's probably the best table in the house. followed closely by the table in the corner. and jim was our waiter. i like him. he's helped us enough times i don't think he needs to ask us what we want anymore!
we had a bottle of the grammercy cellars tempernillo (sp?) 2006 - oh my it was great! didn't even need to breath!
split the seared foie gras with peaches, candied ginger and cocoa nibs
matt had teh zuppz de sera (soup of the day)
i had the tagliatelle with rau bolognese - handmade pasta a little wider and flat like fetuccini with wagyu bolognese - oh my
matt had the special - lamb chop with figs and something- but the saddle of lamb which was on the menu had a goat cheese tart which he wanted, so they put that on the plate for him as well
i had the duck breast with something and farrow. oh wow it was great
burnt sugar gelato and coffee for matt
some insanely rich chocolate thing with malt sorbet and cofee for me
and then for my birthday they brought us a glass of muscati d'asti as well.
gosh i love that place!
so we just waddled home, changed clothes - and while i didn't outdo myself, i must admit, man i looked good! and now we're reclining on the couch. and, well, dressed in what i'm currently wearing i still look dam good. at 42 i realize it's been a long time since people have actually stated that. i admit i miss it. but tonight i stopped matt in his tracks as he was getting ready to leave and he made the statement that i looked really beautiful.
he gave me tuplis for my birthday yesterday. pink - for the cause.
