Second Course

Two of my friends have already commented (snidely, of course) on my previous post. They seem to think that I live-blogged my dinner, but such was not the case. The second course came along a couple of hours after the first course, after the scallops had settled a bit…

My beautiful bride outdid herself for the second course, creating another simple, perfectly finished seafood dish: pan-fried salmon with a sauce of fresh lemon juice and zest, fresh dill, garlic and butter, served over bow-tie pasta with pesto, fresh-grated Parmesan, and pine nuts.

I ate until I was near bursting. And because of that, the dessert course shall be postponed until another evening. Now I must go drink a large glass of a fine Cabernet…

Ahhhh… Now if I could only convince the wench that every day was my birthday!
