Valentine's Day is always a special day for Clay and me. I am so lucky to have a husband who likes to be sweet and romantic on Valentine's day and doesn't consider it a "fake holiday." Clay always insists on doing something special on the day of, and he usually keeps our eating destination a secret. This year Clay took me to Carpe Diem in downtown Charlotte. It was a good meal, but it definitely didn't make it to our list of favorite places. The Valentine's Day menu consisted of 3 courses. I got a warm, fried goat cheese salad, pork chops with rice and beans, and pecan pie. Clay had a brie and duck confeit quesadilla, veal with cauliflower au gratin, and chocolate cake. Needless to say, we were both stuffed afterwards.
The sky was pink on the way to Charlotte, perfect for Valentine's Day
The Duke energy Building, also pink
Carpe Diem
They gave us watermelon tobasco sorbet to cleanse the palate after the appetizer. It actually tasted like ginger sorbet to me (that was before she told us what it was)
Clay also surprised me with a rose, a card and some candy when I got home. Clay, Belinda, Roger and I had a good laugh on Sunday when we realized Roger got Belinda the same card that Clay got me!!! Like father, like son!!! I got Clay some specialty coffee and chocolates :)
