cheese is meant to be shared

if you don't like mooshygooshy cheese then don't continue reading what's below this.

matt and i had our year anniversary on the 18th. this year went by so fast. but they all do, don't they? i started the day off opening the fridge to a note that says "i miss you already. i love you." underneath a  glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. mmm what a morning. i did the usual work thing until 5(actually that's not very usual. haha) and got home to some beautiful daises.  we watched julie and julia and then went to maitrea for dinner.

                                  

                   

                         we ordered oven-roasted red peppers with garlic, marinated in olive oil

                          and balsamic with arugula, parmesan and bread

matt ordered grilled goat cheese, spinach, eggplant, tomatoes, and chive spread, served burger-style in a freshly baked focaccia. the "chive spread" was just a NOT NORMAL dollop of sour cream that just overpowered everything else. he got a little queezy. 

i ordered thai eggplant with tofu, fresh coriander, coconut milk with rice. i originally ordered the sushi, but they were out of it. this was just... heavy.

for dessert: white chocolate mousse with strawberries, layered with home-made caramel-walnut wafers... i'd like to call this whip cream with chunks of white chocolate and GLASS caramel. or something. it tasted yummy.
