Hot Off the Grill
9.16.2008:A Very Special Episode of phoebeeating.com
I arrived in New Jersey on Friday so that I could celebrate love. Saturday the 13th was our (mine, Jordan's, the world's) sixth anniversary. And next Saturday, his friend John Randall and girlypal Karina are getting hitched. Also, I came to New Jersey to experience autumn. There is no autumn in Florida, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.
Anyway.
For our sixth, Jordan & I went to the Iron Forge Inn in Warwick, New York. This place is a gem of a gemmy gem in the middle of nowhere. You follow long, winding, foggy roads, hoping that the headless horseman won't get you (because that's what happens in New York State in autumn). Then you spend an exorbitant amount on amazing food. I ate: artisanal cheeses, wheat beer and onion soup, monkfish, and blueberry cobbler, and drank several glasses of Reisling and something called a "Harvest Cider." Jordan ate several courses of food, all of which somehow involved beets.
Fancy cheese plate/boyfriend.
Monkfish action shots.
You might notice that I look kind of funny in these pictures. No, I'm not talking about my hair. It's because I was a woman with a secret. Also, because nerves were sort of making me want to puke, despite the fact that the food was incredibly delicious (but not helped by the generous quantities and overall richness). That's what love does, especially generous quantities of incredibly rich love. You see, after we got back from the restaurant, I proposed to Jordan.
(He said yes.)
But don't worry. I promise that phoebeeating.com will not become focused on tiaras or rings (his, of course). Because Jordan loves and understands my love of eating, over my non-love of shiny things.
Proof?
Why, the next day we were concerned with eating sandwiches and taking pictures of me consuming giant cigar-like pickles.
