We had our reception there  almost 29 years ago but they have expanded the venue and even added a hotel since then. it us no longer the quaint English hunting club style but it was lovely and elegant

More than half of the men seemed to think. Black tie meant a suit but there were still plenty of tuxedos and Vixdad looked dapper and elegant

There were a lot of short and casual dresses too but enough gowns that I felt completely comfortable in my choice of dress

The palette cleansing glacé was brought around by the wait staff as tiny ice cream cones served in a painters palette  tray... Adorable

My meal was filet mignon served medium rare, tender and perfect with a lovel wine sauce, a few asparagus spears, a carrot, some mushrooms and tiny roasted tomatoes and a wedge of of delicate hash browns.  I wish I had my camera for my description does not adequately describe the dish or the lovely presentation

Knowing there would be an excellent meal to follow I restricted my self to a couple of steamed dumplings, one  scallop and one shrimp (they also had the fried versions of each) also a  Couple of small pancakes of Peking duck from the Asian food table and a couple of small pieces a flank steak from the carving table oh a a quiche from the passed trays.  They also had tiny glasses of tomato soup with a tiny piece of grilled cheddar cheese sandwich as a garnish. That was good too

Besides a slice of wedding cake (alight  lemon cake with a chocolate chip cannoli cream filling) I had crime brûlée and a waffle wedge with fresh piped whipped cream and fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.  Ther had to be at least 50 other choices...but I was too full by then to indulge.

I fear my day -- nay, my week -- will never live up to vixmom's posts.

What the HELL?  Did someone die and get whisked off to an eater's Paradise, or what?

Woke too early, feeling like the proverbial Chinese Army had marched over me.

And now, for comic relief:  allergy sneezes.
