To quote an email I received from Kat, "The Hoods, est. 2004"....yes, it's our 4th anniversary today. Tom and I decided to just bbq up some filet mignon instead of going out. I then took it a step further and set the table as if we were on a date :) It was a lot of fun. We had our steaks, Rice-A-Roni (yes, we're addicted to the kind that has vermicelli in it), artisan bread w/ olive dipping oil, sparkling cider, easter choc. eggs, and for dessert - the yummiest recipe I've found...Chocolate-Mint Bars (Cooking Light, March 2008 - cover recipe).
Tom gives this dessert an A++....I've made it 3x in the last 3 weeks. For those who want it, either buy the magazine or get the recipe from myrecipes.com. Also, don't be tempted to use "light" choc. syrup - it just turns the dessert 'spongy' - we found out last time.
Jack, had carrots. All over. He loves carrots. Good boy.
Thanks to all the well-wishers....time has flown by these last four years :)

Happy Anniversary, you guys! We did the same thing the anniversary after Kekoa was born. Just made a nice meal at home for the two of us - he went to bed early at the time, so it just ended up being the two of us, if you can believe that. The dessert looks DELICIOUS!
Awww...Happy, Happy Anniversary! Hard to believe it's been 4 years already. The table looks marvelous as well as the food - and that dessert! Yummmm. Gonna have to try it sometime.
