Yesterday was our 37th wedding anniversary, hard to believe that it has been that long but it does seem like forever in another way. But actually we did get married on a Saturday night.
We’d wanted to go away for a change and had thought that a place with a campground nearby would be perfect. We had some great Iron Horse Champagne and BV Cab that we wanted to drink with our dinner but didn’t want to drive anywhere after drinking.
Looking at our finances over the weekend I found that we really didn’t have enough money to do much extra. With starting up the cookie company recently all of our extra funds have gone to the start up costs, hence we were going to need to stay around here and make the best of it.
I took an inventory of what we had on hand: fresh brussel sprouts with fresh lemons and butter, celery and the makings for Celery Soup a la Julia Child and Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and some instant vanilla pudding.
Visiting the local butcher was my next step. I was thinking about smoking a nice piece of meat as without an oven that works the smoking was the next best way to cook. The butcher suggested a N.Y loin roast and I had him apply a garlic rub.
So I smoked our meat, made the other dishes, got out the silver, lit the candles while Dale poured our champagne. Ah, a wonderful dinner with the man I love.
