mellybrellyAhh, nice night. Tim came home from work with roses, and got dressed up, I wore a dress and heels, first time in a long time for that. We drove off and as we approached a certain part of town, I was trying to think of what restaurants were over there. I remembered this one little tiny hidden one that Tim showed me ages ago, which is Zagat rated and hoped he had thought of it too, and he had. Panino, if any locals want a new place to check out. They have a second restaurant in the Plains.
It was so quiet in there, and excellent service. Tim had been told that they have a good menu, but a long list of specials, and they did. They brought us a pottery canister full of tall thin breadsticks that they make there, plus bread that was just baked. We started with calamari and an arugula salad with their vinaigrette, fresh pears, pecans and gorgonzola. I had fresh ravioli stuffed with swiss chard and ricotta in a butter sauce with slices of fresh parmesan, Tim had pistachio crusted white fish with garlic spinach and carrots and potato. He said the pistachios tasted freshly crushed, it was all really good. We were going to resist dessert, since we had cake at home, but Tim really liked the look of this blueberry tart thing, which was really tasty. Tim finished off with some espresso and we were good to go. Bit pricey, but worth it.
He drove me to Nelson Park, where we got engaged and married, and we walked around looking at all the blossoms, and sat in the gazebo for a bit, talking and kissing.
Then we were dorks and ran to Target all dressed up, cause we needed a few Easter things.
Now home, ate slices of our wedding cake that I don't even remember tasting at the wedding. He opened his gift from me, a hand written journal, with entries I wrote about or to him over the last year and a half.
A year, and I love him so much, and I know he loves me, and I feel blessed. I hope we can be good to each other for our lifetimes.

Date: 2010-04-02 04:05 pm (UTC)We went with my parents to Girasole, the one in the plains, for my dad's bday last year. Good food, pricy, but good.
Sounds like you all had a great time.

We'd like to try the one in the Plains, sounds like it's similar! The one in Manassas is a bit bizarre because it's in a strip mall with a bunch of hispanic markets and things like that.
