Valentine's Day Eating

I had a lovely Valentine's Day meal with my DH. He made reservations at a local steak restaurant. We had a 4-course meal.  I have to admit, I wondered what he was thinking making reservations for me for a 4-course meal.
 
Five months ago, I would have eaten everything placed in front of me. Tonight I had a few bites of each (including chocolate desserts) and had our server box everything else. I think we brought home enough food for the next week.

DH had wine that was paired with eat each course. I had one sip out of two of DH's different wines. The flavors were very nice.

I found I enjoyed the flavors of my food. I didn't feel bad abou****ching DH eat. I was satisfied.

Overall, it was more than a romantic dinner. It was a highlight of how my life and my eating behaviors have changed ... for the better. I'm thankful for my great guy and my RNY.

I had the same thing, but we did not go to a steak house. We went to a local restaurant that's been around for 50 years or so and tries to use all organic and local ingredients whenever possible. It was an AMAZING meal, and I had a little bit of everything, and we came home with grass fed tenderloin with chanterelle, red wine, kumquat, and fig reduction and butter-poached shrimp for tomorrow! :)
