Birthday Dinner

I'm sorry to leave all 2 of you who read my blog hanging on my birthday dinner. Pudge and I ventured over to Point Clear last Friday evening and enjoyed dinner at The Wash House. Before our reservations we had about 15 minutes to spare, so we drove down past the restaurant in Point Clear. It was a beautiful evening and we enjoyed looking at the homes on the water. Pudge told me not to bring my camera (and I listened) therefore you have no pictures!

As I said, we had been to The Wash House one other time and it was absolutely delicious, so we decided to try it again! We were certainly not disappointed! They had a "special" appetizer of shrimp and corn beignets with a honey/pepper sauce drizzled on top that were amazingly good. We each had salads before our entrees. Pudge got the T-bone steak with a shrimp sauce on top and mashed potatoes. I got the triggerfish, which included smoked tomato grits, asparagus, crawfish & corn cream sauce on top. Both entrees were awesome and by the end of dinner we were definitely full.

If you are looking for celebrate a "special" event, you must go try The Wash House. The food and service is amazing and the ambiance is beautiful! Just remember I said a "special" event! It is a little costly, but well worth the money!

Birthday Fun

Happy Friday afternoon! If you read my blog, you saw that Wednesday was my birthday! My sweet husband was a "guest blogger" on Wednesday. I had no idea he was doing this and it was such a sweet surprise Wednesday morning, while I was getting ready and reading my blogs, to find a post from him! He is way too kind for words!

Anyways, Wednesday I had the pleasure of cooking dinner for my family, except for my dad, as he is out of town. I made this and OH MY WORD was it delicious. Instead of the potatoes in the recipe, we had baked sweet potatoes and roasted asparagus. It was delicious, but next time I make this pork tenderloin we will be having mashed potatoes with it! The "juice" that goes along with the pork was so delicious not to have some mashed taters to put it on! My sister brought my favorite dessert, Pollman's cupcakes! We had a fun time eating dinner and talking (and of course laughing). Sorry, I didn't take any pictures!

Tonight, Pudge and I are headed out for a birthday date across the bay! We are going to a restaurant we have only been one time and it was FABULOUS! Hopefully, I will be back later this weekend to give you a report on our dinner! Hope you all have a great weeked!
