So my wonderful wife was questioning significant parts of her like in particular the apparent tumble as it relates to how she rate's on Valentine's Day. You see our first Valentine's Day outing was to the Rib Room in the Omni Royal Orleans and now a scant five years later (married) we are at home with Subway sandwiches. What had caused this obvious fall from grace?
Now wait a minute....before everyone starts feeling sorry for Cindy.....I can explain. A girls basketball playoff game was scheduled for 7pm on Valentine's Day evening and I answered the call to do the play by play. Previous plans to go to Cafe Lynn were postponed until Friday.
The good news was that Miss Susan and his "Lloydness" were able to join us for our repast. Since they were originally scheduled to join us on Thursday we were able to replay the V. D. a day later.
Once you get inside Cafe Lynn the Burger King shaped outside disappears and you are transported into a nice cozy cafe. Without looking outside you could be just about anywhere in the world.
The food was, as I have previously reported here, and now verified by Lloyd, top notch.
For Apps we all shared - Crabcakes, Friend Eggplant Fingers, and Eggplant something or other (friend eggplant topped with creamy seafood sauce).
Entrees were split by both couples - Cindy and I had the pan seared drum with lemon butter sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Susan and Lloyd went with the baked drum with herbs, breadcrumbs, and tomatoes.
Susan and Lloyd had dessert - it was a brownie, ice cream, and homemade chocolate sauce. Assessing the dessert would be easy...............nothing left on the plate.
What a wonderful celebration with friends. It didn't hurt that the libations were "spot on", either. Treasure the moments like these in your life.
Peace Upon You
Viva Cafe' Lynn
Viva Susan and Lloyd
Viva Subway Cindy - I am hoping you don't try to get the hook up with Jared.
