Which is more exciting?
a) Eating dinner atย Per Se, at a table overlooking Central Park, on a warm spring night, holdingย a tasting menu that looks like thisย (only five of about thirteen courses shown):
OR
b) returning home from that Per Se dinner and finding this note stuck to your front doorโฆ
Hereโs a hint.
But the big question is, WHAT DID YOU EAT?? I would have gone for the poularde and creamed English peas!! (And how cute is that note? SO cute!)
Melissa: that is the beauty of a tasting menu: I got to eat all of that and then some.
Ooooh, that sounds likeโฆ..Heaven!
I want to know what was on the packed-lunch menu!
ditto what Kendra said: whatโd they pack?
also: i love how editing clearly runs in the family (if not subject/predicate pronoun clarity).
Good thing the lunches were packed โฆ Iโm guessing there wouldnโt have been any leftovers for the next day.
Brilliant use of a contract, Iโve got to start doing that more often โฆ
Kendra & 654. This is what they packed: Peanut butter sandwiches, fruit leathers from Trader Joes, โpita puffsโ from TJoes, one apricot each, baby carrots, granol bars, a thermos filled with water. We sneaked in chocolate filled shortbread cookies from the Per Se goody bag as tokens of our appreciation.
And who says Christmas canโt come in June? That is a Christmas miracle!
What great girls you have!
oh, be still my heart! how old are your girls? iโm looking for ammunition in getting my 7 (8 in september) year old going in this direction.
Ok Jenny, Iโm completely jealous on both fronts. I was just trying to convince E&S that it would make them feel so good (and me so happy) if they started making
their own lunches. No lunches made yet and no per se in my near foreseeable future. Btw heard a promo for you on Everyday Food but didnโt make it back to the car in time for the segment. So sorry I missed it!
I almost got teary when I read your girlsโ note. I have twin toddler girls and hateโ HATEโ packing lunches. This trumps Per Se for sure.
Lucky you! (on both counts!)
Oh how sweet!! Love this!
Not to in any way diminish the fabulousness of kids packing their own lunches (a milestone up there with potty training, I think), but kid notes are the sweetest thing ever. My daughter loves to leave post it notes around the house for us and they never fail to cheer/choke me up. Love it!
Oh that note, too sweet. And the hysterical lunch contract is the first thing I read on Dinner A Love Story! Love it.
p.s I just used my fingers to count 15 +8 for your comment security questionโฆvery sad to admit.
