Well, another successful Valentines Day albeit with a minor disaster. We woke up to a rainy day but Neil did laundry while Connie worked, then he went for a run and did some computer stuff in the AM. After that we got ready for out dinner out at Marker 92. Unfortunately, about 15 minutes before we left we discovered a serious leak from one if our windows that soaked our carpet in the living room slide. Neil was able to cover the leaking area with a tarp and stop the flooding, so it’s just a matter of getting the carpet dried out via a fan and time. New Horizons will have to fix or reseal the window when we visit in March for some other warranty repairs.
So off to dinner we went. We were a bit disappointed by the fact that they only had a special 5 course fixe price dinner for the holiday. First off, it cost way more than we would have spent on our own and second it was way more food than we would have ordered on our own. It was really good though, but in hindsight probably wasn’t worth the price.

We had an amuse bouche of oranges and fois gras, neither of us had tried it before due to the price but both liked it and would eat it again. We are with Anthony Bourdain, tasty. Next was a leek and mushroom tart appetizer and we shared a bottle of Eden Pinot Noir. After that it was a strange salad and then entrees of lamb cassoulet for Connie and Lobster and rock shrimp risotto for Neil. Desert was chocolate mousse and raspberry Napoleon; the Napoleon was way better after the heavy meal as the mousse was really rich.
We left much poorer than expected and more stuffed than anticipated, it felt like Thanksgiving afternoon driving home.

Cyas.
