A special dinner
Last night Cole made a special dinner for us. He thought a lot about it and tried to recreate my favorite dishes from Greenville, Tuscaloosa, and Birmingham. Taylor gave Cole a Soby's cookbook for his birthday, and he used the crabcake, cheese biscuit, and garlic mashed potatoes recipes from it. From Tuscaloosa, he got my favorite salad, a caesar salad, from DePalma's. From Birmingham, he made the apple turnovers from Bottega. Everything was a delicious success...except maybe the turnovers. We think our fryer smells/tastes like fish, so it added a funky flavor to the turnovers. We decided we'd try them again, though, because I think they could've been amazing. Here are some pictures from the night:

Umm...nothing. :) Ooops! He understood since I had just finished my thesis the day before. He knows me better than to expect something.
