Bill and I enjoyed an evening out tonight, while Ellie had Miss Shannon to entertain at our house. Miss Shannon, as you may recall, was her summer session teacher before she moved to Miss Jamie's room. Miss Shannon is 19 and mom to Phillip, about a year old. Ellie just loves Phillip, but tonight had Miss Shannon all to herself!
Bill and I thought the best place to enjoy ourselves for a few hours was the downtown mall. We started our evening at Siips with a glass of wine and an assortment of cheese and fruit. I had this wonderful new wine that is a blend of Zinfandel (51%), Cabernet Sauvignon (23%), Syrah (12%), Petite Sirah (6%), Charbono (6%) and Grenache (2%) called The Prisioner. It was wonderful!
After that we made our way to Zo Ca Lo an eclatic restaurant on the mall. An amazing meal. Bill had Spicy Tuna Tartar salad and I had Spinach Salad with bacon vinegarette accompanied by fried oysters. As if things could get any better - Bill had grilled lamp loin with roasted green beans and corn salsa, while I had the black bean and corn relleno with smoked tomato grits. I wish I could tell you we had room for dessert, but we did not.
We were thrilled to come home and find Ellie and Miss Shannon happy together, watching a movie with the house completely picked up! Ahhh ...
