Winner Winner! Oysters for Dinner!

Last night the boys took me out for an early birthday dinner. Celebrating with some Anglophilia they made reservations at Cavalier downtown.

Per usual we started with oysters. The Kid commandeered mine, so we had to order a few more.


The Manfriend tried a few baked ones sharing with The Kid, while I stuck with my Walker Creeks (I forgot the name of the other ones.

I'm not an egg person so these were all The Manfriend's. "Quail Egg Mayonnaise"


We shared this simple salad of seasonal greens and citrus vinaigrette and herbs. It was so lovely we ordered a second.


The Kid had the classic Fish and Chips. Malt Vinegar was enjoyed but he ignored both ketchup and aioli. The batter on this was so light and crisp. I was really impressed. The side dish is of peas, pea tendrils and mint in the same citrus vinaigrette as the salad. This was a huge family SWOON.


The Manfriend opted Lamb with a salsa verde for his entree.


He shared my beef dripping chips which were very .. beefy. Delicious, but it made me feel ... dirty. I will have to do an extra day of cardio ... next week.


Dessert was indecisive so we shared the steamed rhubarb pudding, and the Chocolate Delice which was a little too much like eating frosting. It needed whipped cream and or some kind of texture to cut it more.



That concludes the "Oyster Dinner" which means now we have the winners!

The Random # generator gave us 3 & 9 which is Deborah and Brenda Cooper! Thanks for coming by and participating. I'll be sending you your new patterns via Ravelry today!
