Tonight was a lovely dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Blue Ginger. This week was busy, crazy and non stop. It was nice to have a busy day at work, head home, change and head to dinner. He got there a bit before I did and made it without getting lost like he had feared.
It was wonderful to sit down, chat and have a drink. I love the ginger lime gimlet they make but boy do they go down far too easily. The appetizers were the tuna poke and mussels in lime leaf and green papaya. I had the butterfish (an aptly named fish if there ever was one). He had the scallops. All was wonderful. I was up for dessert and he was not. The warm, spiced, kabocha donuts caught my attention. He was not as impressed as I was but they were wonderful. He, being ever practical, noted that I was eating $4 donuts. As I pointed out to him, the pleasure of my company was worth feeding me the $4 donuts. He agreed :-) He also rightly guessed that I really was thinking about licking the plate. For the record I did not.
It was a fun dinner and so very good. I feel bad for people who eat out with me as I love food and make it very clear I am enjoying myself if I am eating something scrumptious. I can't help it. Food makes me happy :-)
