Leo and Shirley Celebrate 60 Years

Saturday March 1, 2014

It started in 1954 and the latest version of Shirley and Leo's life together resulted in a gathering at MK Restaurant located in Chicago. Leo, Shirley, Laura, Lisa, Marilyn, Mark and Kevin joined in for the dinner. The meal, lets just say was very very good. It included Gnocchi with bison short ribs and monchego cheese, scallops - deep divers, Pan Seared Tune, Salmon and Bison rib eyes. The pm frites with the truffle ketchup. The follow on dessert included S'mores, chocolate cake and apple strudel surprise. There were several different adult beverages servers including dirty martinis, vodka, amaretto stone sour, IPA and Ale's followed by a Valpelicello and Pouilly Fuse. Of course coffee and scotch, baileys and port were involved.

Now, how do I take that info and turn it into a motivational post about health and nutrition? Well, you don't. What it means to me is there has to be balance in your life. Saturday's are for food balance. Especially when it is at a 4 star spot. I have to understand that these types of events are unavoidable and enjoyable, so there it is.

LIVE
LAUGH
LOVE
