HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY!!!
YAY! How is it possible that so much and so little time has passed? It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that we were on the dance floor celebrating our wedding. Yet, it's amazing that it's only been 10 years since we moved from Chicago, got awesome jobs, bought a house, adopted a silly mutt, and so much more. And while so much has changed (like my Coronavirus Mutton Chops), the most important things have not; I love you, Megan and I look forward to the next 10 years with you!
Megan showing how she would pose if we were on our planned 2nd honeymoon in Hyères, France right now. Oh well...
Life is what you make of it. We don't need money or things to have fun; just each other. To commemorate our trip to Belgium we had not-so-Belgian waffles for breakfast. I'll admit Maison Dandoy (https://maisondandoy.com/) in Brussels were slightly better...
After a relaxing morning and a brief walk along Lake Ontario, we had a "Spanish picnic" in honor of our vacation to Mallorca/Barcelona in Durand Eastman Park.
Faisão Wines (https://enoport.pt/) overlooking Lake Ontario from the allegedly haunted "White Lady's Castle." The myth is a mother haunts the old foundations of a mansion where her daughter went forever missing. But, the foundations are a ruin of a former hotel. So...
Tapas, my love? Another inspiration from our trip to Spain. But, with an Irish-America twist of loaded potato skins. Buen provecho and Taitneamh a bhaint as do chuid béile
Green onions are different from leeks. My wife informs me I was lied to by the produce staff.
Reminds me of our visit to L'Affaire Est Ketchup (https://www.facebook.com/pg/laffaireest.ketchup) in Québec, Canada.
Another Belgian treat. This time it's waterzooi and french fries (I know, mayo instead of ketchup is more authentic (Welcome to life during Coronavirus). The restaurant in Bruges/Brugge, Belgium doubled as an antique store. We had a hearty meal before an evening trying a myriad of Belgian beers in a fairy tale of a city.
Why is coronavirus turning me into Ted Nugent? Is Covid-19 a variant of Cat Scratch Fever?
Celebrating 10 years together with a 10 year old tawny port wine from Taylor Fladgate (https://www.taylor.pt/us). On our honeymoon in Porto, Portugal we toured their facilities and sampled their wine. It was an estate up on a hill overlooking the city across the Douro River. We had the tasting room with the parachute ceiling all to ourselves.
Cheer to the 10 years we've been married and cheers to the many more years of happiness we have to look forward to!
