Birthday Dinner at Harvest

The spouse took us to Harvest Restaurant in Madison, WI for my birthday dinner. AND IT ROCKED. Normally Harvest is closed on Sundays, but once a month they have a fixed price dinner with some sort of theme. Our theme was Mulefoot pork which was truly amazing. I thought it was especially cute that the meat came from Strawberry Point, Iowa. This is not mulefoot, but it's a nice visual.

The dinner included six courses, with a wine paired with each course. Spouse and I had to walk around the block once or twice after dinner before driving home. Luckily it was a lovely night and with the capital lit up, it was very scenic.

5 major stars and really, what a bargain. I highly recommend the monthly dinner to anyone. And here is the cute chef who put it all together for us.

Sounds delicious! Six courses- I want the blow-by-blow. Next time I am in Madison I am definitely going to check this place out.

Dude, if I could remember them all I would give you every juicy detail. Let's just say I've never enjoyed pig hocks quite so much. Mmmmm

Now that you have branched out in to non-book reviews, what about the ultimate in romance DVDs, "Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper"? Talk about the ultimate HEA! I am eager to hear your review on this one, because if you enjoyed it, you know "Barbie as the Island Princess" just came out on DVD.

Um, Ahh. Well Barbie very much enjoys the top of our closet shelf. She sort of shy and retiring and doesn't like the light of the TV you know.

Was this a set up? Get her to review dinner, then casually bring up the DVD? Thick and cruel. That's all I can say. Thick and cruel.

Happy anniversary! I suggest a family DVD viewing of Barbie as a celebration! The songs are great, and the story beats the hell out of any of these romance novels you have been reading.

I'm not going to argue the relative merits of romance novels and Barbie videos since I think I might be on shaky ground. I'm just going to stick with the idea that the lack of visuals gives my addiction less impact on my daughter's development.

Hopefully.
