Just simple cheesebread, OK, it's not simple... Because I touched it. Mozzarella and provolone blend with fresh thyme and red pepper flakes with freshly grated Romano on top at the end.

I made a pork tenderloin with an apple butter sauce. Spiced peas and baked potatoes. I did something different with the potatoes. I split them in half. Oiled and seasoned them. Baked them face down on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gave them a nice golden top. Cooked quicker, tasted great.
 
Dinner at Runyon's was quite good, though also quite expensive. I think we've only had 1 other meal for just the 2 of us that cost that much. Started with the ubiquitous crusty warm bread with whipped butter, then a crab-wasabi dip with pita points. Craig had a 22 oz rib eye with garlic-truffled mashed potatoes and chef's vegetables, which were green beans and carrots. I had their boneless prime rib, with a loaded baked potato and chef's vegetables. I also had 2 splits of prosecco. Craig had iced tea. We normally have sparkling water, but they only had the Saratoga brand and we don't like that. It has a really strong peppery/minerally taste, much, much stronger than San Pellegrino. We ordered double espressos for after dinner and they also brought us a freebie cheesecake with a raspberry drizzle for our anniversary. Service was great.

I forgot to take a picture of the crab dip until it was over half gone, so no picture.

We both ended up bringing about half our beef home.

That is a nice looking meal. Congratulations
 
Tovala meals. Craig had mojo braised pork and vegetables over brown rice, with garnishes of pickled red onions and crunchy tortilla bits. I had a spinach and coleslaw salad with roasted sweet potatoes, honey mustard dressing, sliced almonds and shredded parm.
