Valentine's Date

Josh and I had an early Valentine's Date on Friday.  We took a trip down memory lane as we traveled down the streets of St. Paul.  We went to a restaurant on Grand Avenue called Brasa.  This neighborhood is special to us because it is where we lived our first year of marriage.  We have many fond memories of walks on Summit Avenue, ice cream stops at the Grand Old Creamery and laundry days at the Sel-Dale Laundromat.  We had never eaten at Brasa; it was delicious!  The food is described as "comfort food inspired by the creole cooking traditions of the Americas and the Caribbean".  Josh and I shared: poblano pepper dip appetizer, 1/2 rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, romaine and mozzarella salad, and a chocolate torte for dessert.  We would highly recommend this place!  I'm sure we will be back soon.  Here are a few pictures from our lovely evening:

Happy (early) Valentine's Day!
