Bon Anniversaire Matty

March 3 is a special day.  It's a day we get to celebrate precious Matty Jones.  We of course did so in style three months ago, and are just getting around to blogging about it.  The fact remains, a good time was clearly had by all - and we partied like rock stars. 

Food is always a major component when celebrating - particularly when celebrating Matt.  Conveniently the gala tasting occurred right around Matt's birthday - so he came and properly advised the dinner committee on the direction we should take.  The main entree is pictured above.

Clay pigeon shooting was a ball.

A little homemade lasagna coming right up...

Florentine's - Matt's fave.

We also spent some time at the Denver Art Museum

and Dave and Busters... we're basically 12 at heart.

12 Wonderful Years!

Life has been pretty darn hectic as of late - not complaining - just trying to stay above water... We celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary back in May.  Gorged ourselves silly at the Brown Palace and reconfirmed the fact that it could likely be our chosen death row meal.  It's been a magic 12 years - we loved celebrating it with high fat content!  

amuse bouche

I think about this ahi, gnocchi pretty frequently.  I crave this ahi gnocchi pretty frequently.  in fact, does the Brown Palace do take out?  now?
