My charming spouse and I celebrated five fantastic years together last week by blowing the cost of a small yacht on dinner at the Connaught in London. We each had the prestige menu which consisted of:
* A selection of Italian breads and salamis
* Ham consomme with anolini
* Tomato mosaique wiht marinated goats' cheese
* Roasted fillets of John Drory with herb gnocchi, roasted artichokes, smoked red wine sauce
* Carmelissed Gressingham duck breast with baby leeks and Scottish girolles, port wine sauce
* Selection of seven sorbets and ice creams (we finished them all)
* Lemon pannacotta with blueberries and thyme
* Almonds powdered with chocolate and fresh cherries
* Accompanied by way too much booze of various sizes, colours and flavours.
Damn tasty, it was too. But we won't be doing that for five another years at least. Maybe ever.
Not that I think the marriage won't last another five years. I just mean we might be a little more circumspect (or broke) from this point on.
Congratulations!
