On our anniversary - February 16th we had dinner at Charlie's Italian Bistro in La Verne, CA, which is owned and operated by Tatiana Leiva and her family. It is such a warm and inviting place and I must say that I am a bit prejudiced because our beautiful daughter Audrey works there too! But really - the food is quite good - we have been going here for many years even before Tatiana bought the place.
Anyway, we walked in and there was a booth reserved for us with greetings from our beautiful Audrey. We settled in and I had the Chicken Marsala and Dan had the Clam Fettucini. We shared a bottle of delicious light Italian Pinot Gris and also a house salad. The dinner was topped off with a real treat - Charlie's tirimasu - complete with chocolate hearts.
Dinner by candlelight - served by our gorgeous daughter and celebrating 37 years of "marital bliss" as Dan would say and 40 years of our first meeting (on a blind date no less!). The evening was very special for all those reasons and many more.
And must include a picture of the "love of my life" my special husband Dan. (GOT to get him to smile more!!!!). He doesn't look too happy here, but trust me - he is!
