What now seems like eons ago, Nick and I had the pleasure of dining at Per Se with a group of friends, on a rainy afternoon in November of 2004.
It was, I believe, one of our first meals sans new baby and we called home a dozen times to find out how Henry and his babysitter Humphrey were faring. The lunch took nearly 4.5 hours and Nick left early, during the second dessert course, to rescue Humphrey from a particularly messy diaper situation.
The meal is described in fastidious detail over at Tastingmenu.com.
I found a picture of Nick and me taken at the restaurant and it looks like we both had not yet lost that baby fat.
