eat make read

We wanted to celebrate our anniversary at a place we’d never been, but also somewhere that would be extra special. I did a little research and came up with Mas (farmhouse). I have to say, we were blown away by the goodness.

We decided to go with a four course tasting menu, which allowed us to choose 3 savory dishes each and 1 dessert. I’m a big fan of eating like this because it allows me to try new things without making a major commitment to something. Each time a new course arrived at our table, it was super exciting. Once we tasted it, things like “mmm” or “oh my god” would escape out of our mouth. Then we would taste each other’s and agree that it was the best thing ever. We tried things like goat cheese, lemon and parsley ravioli in a pea mint sauce that was unlike any ravioli we’d ever had. It had a freshness and flavor that melted in your mouth and made you slow down and savor each bite. My big accomplishment of the night was trying Aaron’s Yellowfin Tuna. Tuna’s one of those things that kind of freaks me out. Probably because I envision of can of smelly mushy fish every time I think about it, but this couldn’t have been farther from that.

Since everything had been so stellar in the savory dishes, I could hardly contain myself thinking about what dessert would bring. All I had to read was fresh mint ice cream and I was sold. A dish with milk chocolate mousee, fresh mint ice cream and cocoa geleé arrived and I was in heaven. I even found it a little hard to give up a bite to aaron, but I figured since we were celebrating our anniversary I should probably be nice. I must say, there’s no one else in the world that I’d rather share my most favorite dessert with.
