It's way past our anniversary (November 18th) - but wanted to post this anyway since it was such a special evening. The seared foi gras was probably the highlight for me (never having experienced it before -- seared is the way to go). Jessixa liked the sorbet (which left a pleasant hint of cardamom in our mouths for days). The theme of the meal was foraged mushrooms. If you ever have a chance to blow a bunch of money on a fancy dinner like this - DO IT! It's an experience you won't forget.
Aaron, I so love your artwork. And I love that you documented the night with these pictures, right down to the knife. You almost, but not quite, made me want to try duck. Thanks for sharing. Jessixa is a lucky woman, and congratulations on 5 great years!

Duck is very good. It's a more flavorful Than chicken or turkey, probably because of fat content. You should've seen the meal we ate at a dinner party last week-- kangaroo!! Apparently it's the norm at bbq's in australia
