The end of October is a special time of year. No, not Halloween. I don't give the slightest care about that day. I won't rain on others' enjoyment on it (and that means a hearty FU to anyone who does that to my enjoyment of Christmas - let each of us enjoy what we enjoy), but I won't join in. No.
Instead, late October means anniversaries - of the first date that Conrad and I had and then of our wedding - and Conrad's birthday.
And this year, I was out of town for two of those three events.
Conrad did go out for dinner to Perle with Natasha on his birthday and while I was in Tampa. I was happy to see the photos from that.
It's not a milestone year, but I am sorry I missed celebrating that one. He had a good time, though.
Today is our wedding anniversary. Twelve years. And we took it easy. Some housework, a nap. A breakfast at Amara.
And then I made us dinner. Some scallops on a really good, savoury carrot puree and thoughts of how I could have done that differently to make it a better meal.
Dessert was nice: olive oil cake with a citrus and rosemary creme anglaise, blood orange sorbet, and a bit of an almond praline.
We had cocktails before dinner and some Pinot to follow.
A nice Sunday night for the two of us, a nice little loving celebration. I can edit the food in my head but appreciate that we had the day together so nicely.
