So, my 20th Anniversary was last week. Yeah, yeah, congrats to me and all that. Here’s the thing though…I count it as 32 years, even if the wife refuses to see the logic.
Allow me to do the math for you: 2 years dating + 10 years engaged + 20 years married = 32 years. According to her highly suspect woman logic I’m not allowed to count anything before the wedding. Huh? It seems to me that any time spent solely with her should be taken into consideration. I mean, its not like I was seeing other people, right? So married in all but name…that’s my take on it.
Anyway, whether you use my math, or hers, it still adds up to a milestone, and so to celebrate we went to dinner at Churchill’s on Saturday night. Now, as it turns out they have only been reopened for a short time, and they are once again shutting down dine-in operations as of Sunday. Why? Because of Covid-19…sigh
This was our first real meal eaten in a restaurant in months, and my daughter’s first time dining there period. As usual, the food and service were excellent. I always order the same thing, the 12 ounce Filet, add the pepper sauce please. The wife had the 8 ounce Filet, and the daughter had Braised beef tips with mushroom risotto. Dessert consisted of the Coconut cake and a crème Brulee.
It’s nearly impossible to go wrong at Churchill’s. The food is that good. I really shouldn’t be upset that they are shuttered for operations again (although they do still have packages to go), but I am. Between all of the places that have closed permanently, and the eateries that are only partially open, options to go out are very slim. If I’m going to risk catching the crud, then it has to be worth it.
Yes, I can, and do, cook at home, but it’s just not the same. Besides, sometimes I don’t want to have to work that hard for dinner. I am so done with this pandemic…
…I count the same way you do!! 😀 Sounds like a fab dinner and I’m with you – sometimes you just don’t want to work hard for a good meal.
