The weather for the past week has been beautiful here, so Eric and I decided to celebrate our 13 year dating anniversary with a leisurely lunch at Herons on Tuesday.

Not only was the food delicious (as usual), but I actually got a little sun out on the patio. In November.

Eric got two appetizers (braised pork ravioli and autumn risotto) and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc while I choose the Chef’s Market Menu (above) with selected wine pairings.
