Date Night

Last Friday, Matt took me on a date

to see A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie.

He made dinner reservations at

Sanctuary before the show.

Sanctuary was very elegant

and expensive.

It was fun to try the eclectic menu

options but not something we

could afford to do more

than once a year.

I had the dayboat sea scallops,

hanger 1 chipolte vodka eggnog sauce,

shishito peppers, asian pear,

and red tobiko caviar.

Matt tried the pan seared

wild acres duck breast,

belgian waffles, and a

pomegranate reduction with a sweet onion,

galliano coffee liquor marmalade and

ancho chili pesto oil.

See what I mean?  Fancy!

For dessert, we had a sampler

consisting of yucca root coconut cake,

vanilla bean ice cream,

and bread pudding.

Each desert came with a yummy drink.

After dinner, we headed to the Guthrie.

Neither Matt nor I had been there before.

It is a very neat place!  I was glad we

got to see it at night when the new 35W bridge

is completely lit up.

If going, you must check out the Endless Bridge

and the eighth floor yellow glass where

you can see the ground beneath you.

Our seats for the show were great.

We were about 5-10 rows up from the stage!

The play was amazing.  I had never been to a play

with professional grade actors.

We also ran into Matt's coworkers/friends

Paul and Jenna!

It was such a fun time and great idea

for a date night with your significant other.
