Yesterday was Bryan’s and my 4th wedding anniversary.
Time flies. Four years ago, we had our little elope ceremony with a few friends on a beautiful beach. It was simple and perfect. One year later, we had a small wedding banquet with families and friends. I got to wear a real wedding dress and got some nice pictures. Haha…. I guess it is every woman’s dream to put on a wedding dress. Four years have gone by, things may have changed, but I am still so in love with my man. I am one lucky girl. I can’t wait for many more years to come and share my life with Bryan.
To celebrate the anniversary, I cooked a 3-course meal.
Tuna Tartare (shallot, chive, lime, baked wonton chips)
Citrus-Seared Sea Scallops (orange, lime, green onion, garlic, creamy polenta)
Lemon Panna Cotta (strawberry sauce)
This was probably one of my first 3-course meal that I cook by myself. I usually only made an entree and a dessert, or I will have help. The good thing about this menu was that there were many things that I can made ahead, so there wasn’t any craziness. The panna cotta was made 1 day ahead. The components of the tartare were all prepared. I just had to toss them all together at the last moment. The scallops only needed to be cook for a few minutes. It was a smooth and delicious meal. Everything came out exactly what I hope for. I enjoyed the whole process. And most important, I am happy that Bryan likes it and he was definitely surprised with the menu.
Have a great memorial weekend! (And yes, Bryan and I got married during the memorial weekend. Looks like people love to get married during this long weekend. My ex-roommate also got married on the same memorial weekend as I did. Weird, but kind of cool!)
