A beautiful Saturday
The place: Sonoma
…wandering around abandoned vineyards.
When: Definitely Spring. This past Saturday to be more specific.
…cherry trees in bloom.
… baby figs.
What: an afternoon of relaxation & a bit of fun.
…realized I am hardly ever in the pics of where we go.
Destination: The Girl & the Fig
…can you even believe that there is a such a place an hour from my home and I have never been there??
My drink: A Fig Royale
… my new favorite drink.
My date: My husband
Our dinner: Flounder in a brown butter & fried caper sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes and spinach.
…uummmm, do I really need to say anything else?
Skirt Steak with a wine and veal reduction with fingerling potatoes and spring greens
…eric had a hard time parting with more than one bite of this one.
The occasion: 15th wedding anniversary
…. Apparently 15 years is crystal. Who knew?
We'll definitely be back… sooner than is probably expected.
It was a perfect afternoon.
Love you honey.

The Girl and the Fig has lovely flavored salt that I am sort of adicted to. Not to mention the food.
