Wow! It was so good! We started with wine and pomegranate martinis, which they refilled through the night. We each got an appetizer: Roxanne the "crabtini, and I the Calamari. She got one of the salads; but since I don't like lettuce, I got lobster bisque. We both got filets - mine was topped with bleu cheese - with various sides, including sweet potato souffle, au gratin potatoes and mushrooms. and, of course, we had to have dessert: Creme Brulee and Bread Pudding, both with my FAVORITE Mer Soleil dessert wine. The bill - which we did NOT have to pay - was $325. Yeah, that's the only time I'll be eating there!
We nearly had to roll ourselves to the car. I may not eat for weeks, but it was SOO good. Thanks, Roxanne.
Roxanne and I were the main VIPS, of course, but we also saw Steve Spurrier, Mayor Bob and various elected officials. We also got lots of fun stuff, including Ruth's hankies and USC/Ruth's Chris Mardi Gras beads, which Winnie is loving so much! (He also got a bite or two of the filet and will be dreaming about it for weeks, maybe longer!)
I'm off to an early bedtime - between the martinis and heavy meal, I'm about to fall out!
Ta ta!

Do you think that the cows cried? They eat and eat and eat, all to be eaten. This was a cruel and gluttonous binge. The cows did not deserve it. He who weeps for the farm yard friend weeps for humanity. He who eats the farmyard friend destroys humanity. - Lois Eargle, Farmyard Friends, 1955.
