When Harry Met Sally Dinner: ANNIVERSARY EDITION!

Yesterday was our first wedding anniversary!  I was going to save When Harry Met Sally until around New Year's but it's my favorite romantic movie!  It was an amazing spread of food!!



For dinner we had "Sir, there is too much Pepper on my (Chicken) Paprikash", "I will never want that Wagon Wheel Pasta", Sally's "I'll have what she's having" house salad with balsamic vinaigrette with oil on the side, Harry's Grapes, New Year's Champagne, Pecan Pie-heated with Vanilla Ice Cream… on the side, and some of our year old Wedding cake. SO GOOD!

Harry: The first time we met, we hated each other.
Sally: No, you didn't hate me, I hated you.  The second time we met, you didn't even remember me. 
Harry: I did too, I remembered you.  The third time we met, we became friends.
Sally: We were friends for a long time.
Harry: And then we weren't
Sally: And then we fell in love. Three months later we got married.
Harry: Yeah, it only took three months.
Sally: Twelve years and three months.
