died and went to heaven.

for jordans birthday I got reservations to blue hill at stone barns. 
its a restaurant on a farm about thirty minutes outside of the city. it was the most amazing dining experience of my life. both jordan and I were mind boggled by the whole thing. I hate to use this word, but honestly it was kind of a magical experience.

we drove up early so we could wander around the grounds. when I think about it now it was a little weird to see all the animals and know we were going to be eating them later, but it didn't bother me at the time.

I put on my jellies to wander the grounds. the greenhouses were my favorite.

here we are!

ladies and gentleman: my husband farmer style

for histories sake I had to document what we ate:

tomato water gespatcho

vegetables from the farm: carrot, tomato, fennel

crispy green beans

tiny tomato burger

summer squash in panchetta and sesame seeds

summer salad: grilled cantaloupe, tomatoes, cucumber, fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomatos

lobster on corn chowder

poached egg on brioche toast with procuitto

warm tomato onion bread with butter and tomato and kale salt

pork medallions, pork belly, bean salad, and new potato

red jacket apricots, blackberries and toasted almond ice cream

strawberry lime soda, summer berries, peach, and chocolate covered hazelnut

chocolate mint tea


so DE-LISH.
