So, Josh and I aren't big anniversary types (shout out to Becky: Ew. Sick. Gross), but we decided that it would be fun to cook a fun dinner together on Tuesday - our 2-year anniversary.

So, here's our menu:

Appetizer:
Apple & Manchego salad (adapted from a tapa by the same name at Jaleo), dressed with a champagne vinaigrette.


Main Course:
Branzino Me Alati, a whole Branzino (small variety of Sea Bass) baked in what amounts to a sea salt cast;
Rosemary & thyme roasted new potatoes;
Arugula salad with shallots and a (different) champagne vinaigrette.

Dessert:
Blackberries in Mascarpone cream.

All to be served with a light, crisp Bollini 1997 Pinot Grigio Grave del Friuli Reserve.

I'll post pictures when it (hopefully) turns out! (Update: It turned out!)

Josh is a very lucky man. If the roles were reversed, and he the Executive Chef, the menu would read as follows:

Apéritif : Welch's Grape Juice (2008)

Amuse-bouche: Ritz cracker with Kraft single American cheese (plastic wrapping included)

Entrée: DC Cafe, Shish Tawook

Ahhh...but were there Ghirardelli brownies from a box?
