T Stands for Anniversary Dinner

For our 40th wedding anniversary last month, we decided to celebrate at our favorite, special occasion, restaurant the UxLocale.

After some wicked hot and humid days, the evening we chose to go out was a Goldilocks kind of night. We went early in the hopes of being able to sit out on the patio. Our wish came true and we had a lovely table outside. 

While waiting for our drinks and appetizer, we remarked how there were no mosquito or no-see-um bugs with giant teeth on the patio. Himself was looking at the herbs and plants that Elaine, the owner, has planted. I wonder what this thing is? Plant.net told us it was Citronella. Well, that's why no bugs

For our beverages, I had a glass of Prosecco and Himself had a Coke. Our appetizer was a burrata pesto tomato jam crostini. 

We each got a house salad with a red wine balsamic dressing

Himself ordered salmon and risotto for his entree. I ordered the Get Figgy With It pizza. I know, I know. I have said more than once fruit, especially pineapple, on pizza is a mortal sin. I'll gladly sell my soul for this outstanding combination. A white base pizza, fig preserves, sliced tart apple, prosciutto, arugula with a balsamic glaze.

It was also nice when Elaine came out to take care of some business with the band setting up. She saw us and came over to chat. Elaine used to work at the museum where I teach calligraphy. It's always nice to see her and to catch up.

We were tempted to order dessert, but had no room.
