500 and wedding chow
OK I think this is the 500th post now... woohoo! Happy 500th little blog!! Thank you everyone for all your kind words yesterday! You all rock!!
So this past weekend was kinda crazy. I had my first wedding dress fitting (still love it!) ate a ton of great chow at the wedding tasting... and bought a house!!! A HOUSE???!!! John and I have been looking and we finally found something and pounced on it! The inspection is saturday so everyone say a little prayer or send good vibes our way that all goes well! Once that's done it's going to be a race to close by March 12th!!! INSANE!!!
OK back to wedding chow, the third most important aspect of getting married! 1st is the whole you know actually getting married part. 2nd is photography... 3rd is food!
As you can see I just had a little point and shoot and no flash... so not the best images but hey just wait for the professionals on the big day!
Some of the highlights:
Favorite salad option: Crisp Romaine with mandarin oranges cran-raisins, toasted walnuts, and honey lemon poppy dressing. We ALL loved it!!
Favorite Pasta Dish:
No contest it was the sweet potato pecan ravioli with caramalized leeks and onions A+
Favorite Fish Dish:
Herbed talapia... I know it's a bottom feeder and at the bottom of the fancy fish food chain.. but you know what?? It was so amazing I couldn't get over it. Totally a surprise.
Favorite Chicken Dish:
Chicken Marsals with button mushrooms
Favorite carving station pick:
Carved beef tenderloin with burgundy demi glaze
Do I have you drooling yet?
There were also three bakeries there with cakes.
I have to say... wedding cakes always look nice... but I'm never a huge fan of the flavor. I can't stand butter cream... just can't do it... and the cake is almost always dry from being frozen before decorating... these are the reasons I don't want a wedding cake. I think just a bunch of different small bakery cakes would be perfect! Nothing fancy decorated just something tasty :)
So if my favorites listed above were your choice on your invitation, what would you order??
