Jill’s birthday

I took her to L’Auberge Chez François last night. It’s a fancy French restaurant up in Great Falls. Dinner is pricey ($50-60), but includes appetizer, salad, and dessert. We split a half bottle of wine (Pinot Gris), and I had an artichoke and crab appetizer. We split the chateaubriand (a big cut of tenderloin, coated in butter, seasoned with black pepper and grilled. It’s then sliced into thin strips, topped with a butter and parsley mixture and served with béarnaise sauce). Very tasty, and we barely had room for dessert (Jill had an apple tart, I had the plum tart). We rolled home.
