Dinner at Duane's Prime Steak and Seafood

We were really thrilled to get a traditional Chateaubriand with a few extras in the vegetables like endive, roasted garlic, and goat cheese on tomato…and the usual asparagus with bernaise, carrots,  roast potato.

I think the last Chateaubriand we had was room service at the Eugene Hotel.  We had had a great one here when we were doing grad work at the University of Oregon before Richard was born.  Richard was only about  2  1/2 so that's why we had it in our room.  They did the whole service table thing even so.  I also remember Richard spilling grape juice on the carpet.  Jim had just done his final oral for his Doctor of Arts.   When Richard and I were waiting in the car to pick him up I told Richard that his Dad was going to be a "Doctor" when he saw him.  Richard got very excited and cried out "Dr. Bones!!!"…one of his favourite character from the Richard Scarry books.  Alas,  I had to explain Dad wasn't going to arrive as Dr. Bones…

 We began with lobster tail tempura for two….each got a lobster tail with orange chill sauce.

 Our Chateaubriand being prepared.

 We even got a visit from Santa.

Yum Yum!
