>We went to our Barony's biggest event this year (Ymir, for you Atlantians)
>and then split directly after evening court b/c even though the cook was
>quite good, it was our first wedding anniversary and so we wanted to do
>something special.  So we went to a restaurant called the Cosmopolitan that
>just opened up in Cary, for a four-course "Valentine's special" meal.  Was
>quite good, actually - the salad wasn't that special, but the steak tartare
>was yummy (it was the first time I had ever had it, and I was partially
>inspired by our recent discussions) as was the veal "Oscar" served with 
>lump
>crab in bearnaise sauce and porcini mushroom risotto. Girard had an
>assortment of game birds done in various asian styles - pheasant in lo mein
>with shitae mushrooms, quail with chinese sausage stuffing, and roast duck
>over... something I forget.  Dessert was also quite good - it was a sampler
>including cheesecake and a "Baked Michigan", which was like a baked alaska,
>except not - start with a rich chocolate cake, add a scoop of sour cherry
>ice cream, then a layer of meringue, bake, then add a drizzel of
>chocolate/kirsch syrup...it was fabulous.
