Liz and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary two days ago. We went downtown to watch “Philomena” (watch it if you can!) in the Fine Arts Theatre, which is the oldest theatre in Asheville, and has such character! You could order beer to drink, which we did, along with popcorn to eat. Afterwards, we walked across the street and ate at “Curate“, a really good tapas bar. We got to sit up at the bar, in the middle, so we could see all the chefs cooking the food. I was so impressed and got inspired to cook more unique food from now on. We ate so much yummy food, drank sparkling wine, and talked with a couple who were sitting beside us. They were from Charleston, South Carolina and later on the guy proposed to the girl, and the whole restaurant was cheering. The owner came to congratulate the newly engaged couple, and we all were touched. Gaaah, so much love in the air. It was such a great night with my love. I love her so so so much and I cannot wait to spend plenty of more years together. She truly is my everything ♥.

We ate: mushrooms sautéed in olive oil with a splash of sherry; crispy fried potatoes topped with a slightly spicy “brava” sauce; olives with lemon, rosemary, and thyme; toasted bread with fresh tomato and olive oil, and finally, a fried eggplant drizzled in wild mountain honey, garnished with rosemary.
Liz tried to take a picture of us, but I was too into the chefs’ cooking…oops.
Cooking in action right in from of us and a successful shoot of the two of us.
I have had a great Christmas with plenty of good food, baking, coziness, presents, Christmas movies, and Christmas music. Going to work on the pictures now and show some of them in an upcoming post, and perhaps share some of my awesome gifts as well. So long!
