new year's eve 2010 menu

interesting photos of our meals and beverages on new years' eve.
tell me what you think ~:)

after this blurry shot of an intersting looking salad, laying on a base of smoked salmon...

that's what i think it was...

i gave up taking pictures of the food.

same as last year!

the beverage glass graveyard begins!

that's a tequila sunrise to the right, and champagne to the left.

i think i had 3 of each. or more.

pretty cleanse your palates icy menthe stuff. i like the blue one.

and one of the most interesting shots of the night.
in the background was the ice cream, white chocolate thing i could not indulge in
because i am lactose intolerant...

and my friend stuck this in my plate.
yes it's a banana.
yes, it's covered in chocolate.

but what were the chefs thinking, really? what IS that?

hope i made you smile,

NYE Menu

Did we mention we picked our party venue because we are in love with their food? Or their chef...

Our last meal of 2009 included:

A yummy salad with shrimp. Now, I eat a lot of shrimp throughout the year. I promise you that I have not had shrimp like this since I have left Kalamata, Greece! Yum...

Pasta and Mushrooms in a lasagna form? I should have saved the menu to get the exact name of this. LML hates mushrooms. I feel the need to tell you that he devoured this mostly-mushroom dish, and half of mine, too :)

To cleanse our palette's...

The piece de resistance, strawberry glazed filet mignon and lobster tail with veggies. YUMMY!

Here's another view, or 2 :

Above, our cappuccino which heralded dessert.

And...

Dessert! Complete with heavenly hazelnut ice cream!

I hope you indulged yourselves in yumminess on the last day of 09 :)

Love, MG

NYE Gala

This New Year's Eve, we partied our tushies off, so to speak. Yes, the pinot grigio got to my head. The jack-n-cokes LML was having got to his head...and we laughed and danced the night away. Did I mention that the ambiance was heavenly? Please check out the following pictures:

What our table looked like- before we sat down.

I had to take some photos without the flash because LML and my friend are both camera shy.

I finally retire the bell and feather-tiara.

Blurred shot of "library"

Where we drank soda while we waited for our ride :)

Smart idea, guys. We would have had to take a cab home otherwise!

Overall, the Polo Lounge in Westbury Manor. PRICELESS!

Love,
