Let me paint a little picture for you (Since, sadly I did not take any photos. Shame on me.). The menu at Blackbird for Jen and Patti was:
Patti
salad of endives with baby lettuces, potato,
basil, dijon, pancetta and poached egg (poached egg on anything is perfection)

I am going to leave you with that happy mental image. Now on to the picture perfect end of our evening. We decided that the night was not complete without a drink or two at Girl & The Goat. One of Chicago's hottest new restaurants. I carry my camera with me everywhere and couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of the interiors for this amazing restaurant.

We had such an enjoyable evening and have vowed to return to Girl and the Goat for more drinks and dinner very very soon.
Say it with me now:
I'm so happy right now!
