Despite feeling very downtrodden, I attended my coworker M.’s wedding on December 26th. That night in itself was quite interesting as I was set up with a blind ‘date’ (not really a date-date persay) to accompany me. It was um, a very interesting experience…. and that’s all I’ll have to publicly say on the matter!

The starter course… I don’t remember all the fancy wording, but it’s basically a mesculin salad with a poached pear filled with gorgonzola cheese. The pear was delicious! Loved the subtle sweetness coupled with the cheese. It was a wonderful dish to start off dinner.

Main course… I decided to be un-adventurous and get the usual, Filet Mignon. It was pretty standard fare. Wish the side was not fried onions though. It seemed a bit too greasy-ish for a wedding meal. There was also mashed potatoes, asparagus and a red wine reduction underneath the steak.

For unknown reasons, they never served our table dessert (or the wedding cake) at all. I was a little miffed about that because I wanted to take a photo! Oh well.

There was also a lot of delicious looking food provided during cocktail hour, but my appetite was still pretty shot during this period. (It still is, just not as bad) Despite my ‘interesting’ blind-date experience, the wedding itself was quite beautiful. It was difficult at times to see the celebration of love while I felt my own heart crumbling, but it would be selfish on my part to not honor the love that M&E wanted to celebrate that night.
