Mostly John and I cook at home every night. But sometimes we splurge, go off our diets, and let someone else do the cooking. Since this is our 50th anniversary year, and John’s birthday, plus the anniversary of John’s retirement day, we decided to indulge ourselves in a fancy dinner at a restaurant that we enjoy. The following is the dinner they made for us.
