How come I didn't pick what I would like to eat for dinner?
Answer
Ryan and I hand picked our dinner menu, with the main including a combo plate (chicken and beef). Details for our menu is as follows: First Course: A fresh mix of greens topped with sweet poached pears, crunchy candied nuts and seeds, sun-dried cranberries, and crumbled feta, all tossed in a light honey vinaigrette. Main Course: A beautifully paired duo of lemon and herb grilled chicken breast and Dijon-herb roasted striploin, served with a velvety roasted red pepper cream sauce and a rich red wine jus. Accompanied by creamy pomme purée and a medley of seasonal vegetables. Dessert: A delicate blend of sweet strawberries and tangy rhubarb, baked beneath a golden, buttery crumble and elegantly served with classic vanilla bean ice cream.
