We told Mom and Dad that we wanted to do a small family dinner in their honor, and that Mer and I were going to cook them something special. When they arrived at Mer's house, Becky would be in the kitchen making dinner, a total surprise!!! It totally worked!!

Happy anniversary from the whole family!
We had Smitten Kitchen's Fairy Tale of New York bourbon cocktails to kick things off.
Only 27 years until we get to celebrate your 50th, Mer and Pete!
Now, let's eat! Becky prepared a four-course meal. The first course was coconut curry meatballs with a dill yogurt sauce. These were incredible!! We gobbled the whole platter!
Becky let us know the details of each course as she served them.
Moroccan peanut stew. This had tons of delicious veggies and nutty peanuts. MMM!
Ham Caesar Salad! With brioche croutons. The ham was amazing. This salad is so great!
The entree was pork tenderloin, served with honey-glazed parsnips and roasted green beans with bacon jam.
Two platters of it!! It was amazing!! The pork was insanely delicious, and the veggies were delightful. And the bacon jam is over the top! Each course of this dinner was so incredibly yummy. It was so special to have Pork & Pickles Becky to ourselves all night and eat her delicious cooking! What a great way to celebrate a wonderful couple on a very special day.
Before dessert, we did a champagne toast.
Cheers! To fifty years!
Mer made a chocolate cake!
As is tradition in our households, little Kate helped blow out the candles. Make a wish!
