Okay people, I had the best time seeing Aims and Em yesterday, and her delightful cousins. First, she looks incredible and she thrilled DH with her running leap into his arms. Now it may have had something to do with the Orlando sun, but that would be a minor factor, but she was just glowing. And Emeline! All growed up and stuff, and even more lovely in person than her pictures.
We went to [link] . This is a restaurant owned by my BIL's BIL. Pouchon was in New Orleans for the weekend so timing was off there, but he had the chef bring us a round of free appetizers and discounted the whole bill 20%. Pouchon is a renowned chef and the food was nothing short of divine. (we were all trying each other's stuff) His restaurant is listed in the top 20 of Orlando/Kissimmee area and was the subject of the Cooking channel's Emeril's Florida. Seriously, the food was over the top scrumptious. There was even a jazz trio playing outside and one of the patron's sang a few songs.
Great people, great food, great entertainment. Seriously, I need more of these days in my life!
meara, that is a seriously crappy evening. If we could have a do-over I would have zapped you to Orlando to dine with Aimee and us.
Rebecca - that is some serious accomplishment! Break well deserved.
