Our 25th Wedding Anniversary






Last night was our 25th wedding anniversary. We went to Palate for dinner. We asked them to create a dinner for us based upon fresh lobster. They served us lobster 4 different ways. It was amazing. Among the best dinners we have ever had. They paired fabulous French Champagne and Burgundy wines with each course.

We started with a bacon, lobster and avocado sandwich on gougéres. It was so good we could have stopped there.

We then had a lobster sashimi with voluptuous ripe citrus and a vanilla bean vinaigrette.

They then presented us with goat tortellini with shaved lobster, preserved lemon, 1st of the season asparagus, green garlic and hazelnuts.

Next was a lobster curry over couscous with baby carrots, English peas and chicken hearts.

For dessert they served something that I am sure no one has ever had, persimmon enoki mushroom in a lobster custard.

We had felt like we had died and gone to foodie heaven. A memorable anniversary!

Our grateful thanks to Palate for a wonderful night!

Congratulations. Double it, triple it. Remember the only way you don't have a long marriage is death or divorce. Don't do either. Love, Bea

Hearty congrats to you two! Wow, 25 years--that's an amazing feat! Glad to hear you're both doing well and still eating well! I will never forget the magnificent meal you took me to at Campenile many years ago! It was special! Love to you both, Jeanne Gisi (Lawton)
