I have been pretty busy with life but that is nothing new. However I want to talk about my weekend. We went to Philadelphia to celebrate his graduation from Drexel University. With the help of some friends, I was able to arrange for a very nice dinner at a restaurant called Ocean's Prime. Everything was spectacular, well not everything. Some of our dinner guest had no idea what certain things meant. Me being 36 years old. I just naturally assume that people know things by the time they reach a certain age. Things that I do not know or know about I tend to teach myself about them or at least try to get a basic understanding of them. I get everyone comes from different places and have different experiences in life. This particular guest did not know what a Filet Mignon, Her Covert was nor what it meant to order A La Carte. It was a little shocked but made me want to learn even more. If we are not learning something daily then what are we doing? Life is full of opportunities to teach and to learn.
Now back to the dinner. Everything was timed perfectly. When we arrived, our wine Silver Palm 2011 was already decanted and waiting for us. We started with Calamari, Mini Crab Cakes and Goat Cheese Ravioli. Our next course included a salad made with romaine lettuce, granny smith apples, glazed walnuts, goat cheese and a mustard vinaigrete. Main course menu options were a filet with her covert and smashed potatoes, a salmon with a teriyaki glaze on a bed or risotto and there was a free bird chicken option but no one had it. For desert we had lemon cheesecake with a blueberry glaze and my husband had his favorite creme brulee.
