27 Years... Where did the time go? It went to celebrate!

An anniversary celebration planned by Jillian and Jerry and Halley: a wonderful dinner at Manny's in the 'W' Hotel, downtown Minneapolis!  Can't even begin to describe the portions this restaurant serves, but, can describe the taste:  Fabulous!  A wonderful way to spend the evening!
On our way, fighting the downtown traffic... snarled due to the Holidazzel Parade.  I'm sure it's pretty neat... but alas, we did not see it.... too many cars and people milling around!
 

As we walked in the restaurant, we saw this cart with food on it... thought it was weird... but then, we found out why.... As they describe the menu, they present each piece of raw meat and describe what it is, the weight, etc.... Jillian's arm is just to show you a frame of reference... the Lobster you see, was alive... and when it was near us, you could actually see it trying to crawl away.... No way could we have ordered a lobster.... we felt bad for it... but I guess not too bad, cuz we all still ordered dead cow for our meals, just not Louis Lobster for dinner... cept for Halley who ordered King Crab legs...
 
And so the meal begins.... with a toast to the lovely couple... that would be us, Jerry and Jean!
 

Hello Halley!!!!!
 
Jillian...can you stop drinking, just for a moment?

After we finished our meals, they delivered a free dessert for our anniversary... the size of which you could share... A huge chocolate Brownie, with Whipped Chocolate Bailey's Mousse on top, and then Whip Cream all over... and about 1/2 cup Hot Fudge to pour over it... Halley didn't want to participate, so she ordered a piece of Pecan Pie....  Piece?????  We forgot that everything here is humongous!!!!
They delivered Halley's piece of Pecan Pie.... It's was 1/4 of about a 20 inch pie we swear! Not fair to Halley, I never took a picture of our big chunk of Brownie dessert... we were too busy digging in and eating it ourselves... We divided it up... and still, there was some left over!
