Last night, Peter and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We decided to keep things low key this year, especially with us just getting back from our summer travels, a baby on the way, and well, with it falling on a tuesday, however it was still very special. It served as a nice reminder that sometimes the smallest jestures mean the most.
We shared personal love notes written to each other, dinned at [my now new favorite restaurant] the Red Ox Inn, shared some pinkberry yogurt for dessert, and reminisced about our favorite wedding memories. We also spoke about our dreams for the future and the type of parents we want to become, amongst sharing a bunch of kisses. It was really a beautiful night.
p.s we had the most unreal meals at the Red Ox Inn. I HIGHLY recommend going there if you live in Edmonton. For my main course, I had a vegetable lasagna [which was an unusual choice for me, but sooooo happy I went with it!] which was loaded with homemade pasta, spinach, sauteed mushrooms, bechemel sauce, carrot puree sauce, roasted cauliflower, brown butter ricotta cheese, parmesan baked topping and drizzled with truffle oil cream sauce. Pete had the most tender and delicious flank steak with a mushroom demi glaze sauce placed on top of a green onion cake.
Both where omg good. seriously. and you will need a reservation.
On another note my laptop screen got smashed up [insert very sad face here] so it'll be getting fixed for the next week or so. Please forgive the lack of quality pic's...it's going to be a work in progress till she's back in business.
That's so nice that you had such a lovely anniversary!! Mine is coming up in September, and I don't have many ideas. I better start to plan something! The Red Ox Inn is so delicious-- I haven't been in years. Mmmmmmm. Thanks for reminding me :)
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that Peter nor myself had ever been there before?!?! And it's been around for years! I loved it though. Food was unreal. If you do go, I highly recommend that lasagna.

I think you should recreate the lasagna and post the recipe :) Sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea.....might get the hubby to try it though. He's a much better cook for that sort of thing. Stay tuned, who knows it might work out.
