Everything needs to be drizzled in butter


Our anniversary was a blast! I feel like we've already celebrated in Monterey but regardless, Mr. Pie made it pretty special on the day as well!

Here are the flowers he sent me :)

And we headed out to Ruth's Chris for dinner. It was absolutely delicious...

Dirty Kettle One Martini for me and a Sidecar with a sugared rim for him.

We had the summer special which consisted of a salad/soup to start for each of us:
Louisiana Gumbo - salted just right with a scoop of rice

Steak House Salad - the blue cheese dressing was sensational!
For dinner, I ordered the petite filet with a side of blue cheese crumble. The steak was succulent, done medium rare on top of drizzled butter. I think everything should be drizzled in butter.
Mr. Pie ordered the seared ahi tuna steak - it was absolutely perfect. I was worried that for a known steakhouse, they wouldn't be able to get the right amount of seared on the side and the rareness of the fish but they did!
You can also see for sides, we chose the garlic mashed potatoes (wonderful) and the sauteed spinach (divine).We also traded plates in the middle of the dinner :)

For dessert, it was bread pudding to share and also scoops of vanilla ice cream.

The Pies left very happy and full. (Special shout to Peldia for the gift card - thanks guys!)

At home, we shared some wedding cake we had frozen. It was gross so I don't recommend it - hahaha!
