V-Day in Pictures.

Sorry about the delay in getting my post up today. Just too damn busy. Guess that's not a bad thing with this economy. Part of my being busy was due to going to softball batting practice at some cages in the suburbs (about an hour away) and a church meeting this morning at 7 a.m. That early morning meeting is only once a month and it totally messes me up. Fortunately I was able to take a 20 minute power nap which seemed to catch me up.

On to Valentine's Day pictures! We went to Yoshi's Cafe, right around the corner and where we went for our first Valentine's Day dinner.

They had a fixed price deal going where you get to choose from various dishes and dessert is included. Also included was a rose! They have them right up front and give them to the ladies (or the guy who seems the most feminine) on their way to the table. It's a nice touch.

Here's the menu. Hopefully you can click on it and get a better view. We chose the sushi and shrimp tempura as an appetizer over the Japanese dumplings under a dome of Parmesan cheese. Seemed like we made a good choice.

As an appetizer, LL chose the duck with little round potatoes like eggs in a nest of fried noodley things. Pretty cool display and it was delicious. She couldn't finish so I got some!!

I had meat and meat! Beef ribs and sirloin steak. Delicious!!! The veggies weren't really good, but they were a minor part of the dish.

And here's our dessert! Chocolate cake in a bed of raspberry sauce with a white chocolate covered strawberry. Awesome!!
