Happy Anniversary Katie and Glenn, have a wonderful dinner and may your life be filled with happiness.Today is our wedding anniversary and I've planned a "special" dinner for us. At Glenn's request there'll be grilled T-bone steaks. To those I'm making steamed haricot verts with hollandaise sauce, mushroom caps stuffed with cheeses, herbs and prosciutto, baked potatoes, and probably a nice red wine to complete the dinner portion. For dessert we will have wedding cake and champagne.
No costumes for us and most likely no trick-or-treaters except for our two granddaughters who will be delivered by their mother so we can appreciate the girls' costumes and dole out some candy. We live way out in the country and have few neighbors. What neighbors we do have are our age or older and only have grown children.
Although, even if we did live in an area where we might have more little ghoulies and ghosties, the weather is really, crappy and supposed to get even yuckier as the day progresses.

It was pretty good. I don't know what was up with the beef madras. Stirling really liked it. I liked the beef, but the sauce seemed to only have heat, bitter, and a vinegar flavour. It was sort of medium hot, even though we asked for "Hot". Stirling could taste all sorts of flavours, so it must be me. Bummer. The onion bhadjis were mediocre, the mixed meats was pretty good. The beef kebab meatball thingees were spiced wonderfully. I made brown basmati rice to go with it. And we had Carlsberg. Beer goes so well with Indian food.We're ordering Indian food, 'cause it's 25% discount today.
