In Anticipation of Thursday

Monday is Sara’s and my three year anniversary. We’ll be celebrating this Thursday by spending the night in a cabin near Cumberland Falls. Before that, though, we’ll be partaking in what we decided last year would be our new tradition - a multiple course, chef-chosen meal at Azure.

Last year we did five courses. This year we’re doing seven. I know what you’re saying: “Five courses wasn’t enough? You barely finish a meal as it is! Darn you for being so handsome!” Let me take these one at a time. No, five isn’t enough when it comes to new interesting dishes prepared by a talented chef. Yeah, I tend to eat like a bird, but these are small plates and I plan on fasting all day. Thank you for noticing.

Here’s what we ate last year:

Seared ahi tuna on salad with mango mascarpone cheese

Angus beef spring roll with bok choi over guava sauce

Foie gras and passion fruit soup with avocado tempura.

Elk rack and tiger prawn over smoked cheddar and leek risotto with portobello au jus!

Awesome, right? It was all delicious. I’ll be tweeting our meal on Thursday just because it’s the mindless posting of thing we eat on the internet that separates us from animals.

I won’t, however, be tweeting from our cabin at Cumberland Falls. Sorry pervs.
