On Friday night, we met my friend Angie and her husband and another couple at a fancy restaurant called Chamberlains. It was Angie and Niel's tenth wedding anniversary, and they wanted to celebrate with their closest friends who have been there through thick and thin. Angie and I have been friends for 11 years. And, man, have we been through a lot....her daughter, Haley's apendectimy, my pregnancy/adoption of Thomas, her wedding, my wedding, her 3 more kids, mine and Brad's fertility issues, her near death health issues....I could go on. It's been a wild ride, but it's been worth every minute of it. I'm very thankful for our frienship.
So, we got all dressed up, and headed out to Addison for a night on the town. I ordered the 6oz filet minon, cut butterfly (I just learned this term; it's where they cut the filet in half so it cooks more evenly) with garlic mashed potatoes. Brad and I don't frequent these restaurants so I was so excited to learn this new term. 
I'm not quite sure what the red stuff was; I picked it off. The steak was great and the mashed potatoes were great. I ate the WHOLE thing. Brad got the creme brulee, and he said it was very good. We ended up talking and hanging around, and after 2 1/2 hours the host finally came over and kicked us out. He was very polite about it though. So, then we just moved the party outside and talked a bit more. It was a nice night.....with good company.
