We've Been Married for 6 months!

Warm greetings from chilly Minnesota, Tuesday night we got 3 inches of snow but thankfully it isn't sticking around.

Monday evening Mr. G and I celebrated 6 months married! We took the opportunity to enjoy a date night out and celebrate a little; no gifts were exchanged, it was a great night!

 Mr. G picked me up at work and we enjoyed a drink at Nye’s Polonaise Room, they are known for their martinis but I decided to forego a martini on a Monday evening.  So I opted for a glass of Pinot Noir and Mr. G had a beer. 

We had dinner at the Wilde Roast Café on the Mississippi River at Saint Anthony Main, it is a cozy restaurant we have always wanted to try and never got around to it.  Bottles of wine were half priced so we chose the Concannon Pinot Noir and the homemade hummus to start.  The hummus was an excellent blend of herbs & spices and garlic, served with rosemary flat bread. 

Deciding on our main course proved to be much more difficult, there were so many items on the menu that we wanted.  In the end Mr. G chose the Thai Peanut Chicken and Ramen Noodle dish, it was similar to pad thai as it was chicken served with fresh vegetables, cashew nuts and cilantro (which Mr. G asked for the cilantro to be left off).  The dish was spicy & delicious and we both noted that the ramen noodles were more like “fancy / upscale” ramen noodles. 

I chose the Sausage & Caramelized Onion flatbread, delicious!  Originally I was worried about the sweetness of the caramelized onions and how they would go with the tomato sauce but the contrast was perfection!  The sausage was not too strong and the flatbread wasn’t overwhelmed with sausage. 

After dinner we absolutely had to have some gelato, I had heard that their gelato was excellent and I could not pass it up.  We chose a combination, pistachio gelato and chocolate gelato....perfect combo!

We left the Wilde Roast Café talking about what we wanted to try the next time…I’m thinking brunch might be in the near future.  The brunch menu looks pretty much unbelievable and a local radio host here raves about the Crème Brulee French toast all the time.

With love,
Mrs. G
