Yesterday was K and my second wedding anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, we decided to stay home and have a nice dinner and a relaxing evening. To that end, I prepared a very nice, yet simple, repast. Yellowtail steaks with a sesame/wasabi/black pepper crust, asparagus, and some lovely french bread. Accompanying the food was a very nice Reisling we picked up in the Finger Lakes last summer. If you ever head up that way, be sure to stop in at Lamoreaux Landing, excellent white wines!
She was impressed as was I, having never really cooked with fish before. If you want to try it, I recommend soaking the fish in sake for about 30 minutes prior to applying the crust...helps cut the fishiness and adds some sweetness to the fish. Nice.
There was cake and questionable champagne afterwards, then we curled up in front of the TV and promptly fell asleep. A good evening all around.
Today we are off to look at cherry blossoms with the Captain, then the family anniversary party this evening. Glad we took it easy last night!
