terminal city club has their weekly buffet dinners on tuesday nights, and chris was looking forward to the seafood neptune. we loved our wedding day, but due to pre-speech nerves and all the excitement we didn't have much of an appetite, so we missed out on a bunch of food. the hotel is understanding and they pack away leftover foods for the room afterwards. after 3 hours of non-stop dancing, i was ready for my dinner :-)
anyways, chris' favourite dish was the seafood, and we were both hoping to see it at tonight's dinner. we were a little disappointed because it wasn't exactly as we had remembered it. the buffet was still really good, but i think they go that extra mile for weddings (or other special events). the weekly buffet doesn't quite get the whole shabang, but it's a pretty good display nonetheless. i loaded up on caesar salad, smoked salmon, indian candy, pasta salad, deep fried scallops and shrimp cocktail. i felt obligated to eat the steamed vegetables, but the rice dish was really good....it had raisins in it, and was even better w/the seafood sauce and the lamb curry sauce! (i skipped out on the fish and chicken dishes.) the roast beef was also really good tonight. on our wedding day, of course we were the first to eat so the meat was more on the well done side :P
i've decided that a meal is not complete until you have ice cream w/cherries jubilee :-) this was served at our pre-wedding dinner tasting, but for obvious reasons, it was not at our wedding. i was so excited to see it out today.....we served ourselves a big bowl of it, and it was already 1/2 melted by the time we sat down.....mmmm, yummy! again, since the wedding buffet is the "ultimate" meal, we didn't have any creme brulee or chocolate covered strawberries. i knew tonight's meal wouldn't be an exact replica from a year ago, but for some reason i was holding out hope. there's always that small little chance that my favourite dessert would be on display....
as we finished our desserts and sipped our teas, we sat back and reminisced back on our wedding day. it was a bit fresher in my mind, since i watched our dvd a couple nights ago :-) ok, ok, i only watched the footage w/me in it! like my blog says, "it's all about me!"
ah well, our first year of marriage is now officially over. what new and exciting adventures will year two bring us? well, it starts w/a little black labrador puppy named leon....he's coming back on thursday night!
since i didn't post pictures in my anniversary post in september, i thought i'd add these now :-)
