but on to our dinner...
we had the cannellini bean soup and the ahi tuna for starters. the soup was creamy and the diced up cuttlefish added texture to the soup. i'm not a fan of beans but canellini beans were mild and not overpowering, very tasty. the ahi tuna was rolled into balls then deep fried and dipped in marinara sauce.
for the main course, i had the mixed seafood skewers over couscous while paul had the blackened risotto with shellfish. i like paul's dish better than mine. it was one of the best risotto's i've ever had. i told paul, 'parang babalik-balikan ko tong risotto na 'to.' hehehe
dessert was ice cream! yey!!! paul's was actually gelato and mine, i think was gelato also but sandwiched between puff pastry and covered in semisweet chocolate. *sigh* i was in ice cream/chocolate heaven.
plus!!!!!!!! to celebrate not only our anniversary, but my giving birth to michelle....i had two glasses of chardonnay! yey! hehehe i haven't had wine in 9 months and so tonight, i had some. well, more than some. =) actually, paul and i each had a glass. i finished mine before his was even half gone. (did someone say thirsty?!) and since he doesn't want to turn bright red (paul's allergic to alcohol, or just has low tolerance), i finished the rest of his chard...*sigh* i was in wine heaven. hehe and no, i'm not drunk. i know how to pace myself. the almost two glasses of wine was drank in a span of 2 hours so the effects were very minimal if none at all.
during dinner, paul and i talked about michelle and how much she has captured our hearts. we talked about wanting the best for our daughter and wondered how some parents are not able to put their children's needs on top of their priority list. we are thankful and blessed that our daughter is well loved by our family and friends.
paul and i thank the Lord for bringing us together...for giving us a beautiful daughter to complete our family. we pray that the Lord keeps us strong and continue to bind us together in His love.
