Not only did Joel's parents babysit for us last night, but they also gave us a $100 gift certificate to one of my favorite restaurants, Blue. I had the poached pear and baby arugula salad (which is the best salad on the entire planet), the duo of wild boar ("Grilled tenderloin and crepinette of shoulder braised with porcini mushrooms over chestnut risotto, served with rainbow Swiss chard and black currant marmalade"), and for dessert we shared the cake di chocolat (a molten chocolate cake) and the creme catalana (like an orange flavored creme brulee).
I really liked the wild boar tenderloin, but not so much a fan of the shoulder. Everything else was excellent though! Joel was not so fond of the duck entree he ordered, which was unfortunate, but otherwise we had a great meal. There was live music and a masquerade ball going on there, which made for good entertainment ;)
The kids, as usual, had a great time with Nanny and Papa! Thanks guys!!!
