anniversary, part two

like i said, we celebrated. which means, we ate. :) (and, somehow, i returned home having lost a few pounds! how does that work??) anyhoo, we found a new restaurant that one must go to when one is in carmel. we have a few particular favorites, but this restaurant is good enough to be on that list. we will go back again...someday. maybe in another five years. :)

we LOVED the brick ceilings!

huge wine cellar

my awesome man, who, by the way, had a curious hankering for figs that night.

my dinner: pasta bolognese. the best i will ever have, i think. i even tried jamie oliver's recipe, and alas! it didn't stand up.

joe's fig, speck, and arugula pizza (i forgot to take a picture of his fig, proscuitto, and gorgonzola appetizer). :)

joe's dessert: some chocolatey divine thing

my dessert: pluot tart with almond gelato. oh yes. and pluots are the bomb!
