Ruth Chris Dinner and a Bet Paid off!!!

Every year we try to get together with our little "Diner's club" (LOL) and have a nice dinner out at Ruth Chris'. We usually go around the holidays but this year we didn't get to...so we went in February instead. More like a belated Valentine's Dinner.  We all LOVE Ruth Chris and their expensive food, but we only go once a year so all make do...Here are Leslee and Irwin

David and I

Beth and Dustin

We all enjoyed dinner, some drinks and yummy desserts...and then after dinner was the long-awaited SHOT!  Some background to this SHOT is that last year when we had our annual Ruth Chris' Dinner a bet was made.  The bet was between Irwin&Leslee and David&I...while we were looking at their wine list we a very expensive shot called Louis XIII for $130!!! So since we had all gotten married the year 2007 (June and July) Beth and Dustin felt that one of us should start making some cousins for their kids to play with! And the BET was made...whichever couple were to get pregnant first the other couple would owe the "dad" this Louis XIII shot.

So fastforward a couple months from that Dec. 2008 dinner we have Feb. 2009 which is the month that David and I found out we were pregnant and going to have a baby! (neither couple was really "trying" btw) David won the BET and a year later we were all together at Ruth Chris' and the bet was being "paid off".  They brought out the coveted Louis XIII bottle of cognac...and with the bottle here is the winner and "loser"

It was so funny because they actually brought this bottle out on a tray/cart and people were staring...the guy next to us even took out his cell phone and was taking pics of it!!! LOL They measured out EXACTLY 1 Ounce and gave it to David.  Here he is with his prize...

Everyone at our table wanted to taste this SUPER expensive cognac so the glass was passed around so that everyone could take a sip.  It smelled like Henessey...BUT went down smooth as water!!!! I guess it really is worth all that money!  Alas...another BET was made, this time it was to Leslee&Irwin...if they got pregnant within the next year from that date...David would buy the shot for Irwin!

FASTFORWARD 1 month later...

Leslee and Irwin get back from their trip from Italy and tell us they got a special "souvenir" from Italy. They have a BABY ON THE WAY!!! Looks like we will be back in Ruth Chris' for that $130 shot!!! LOL...I'm sure the people at Ruth Chris' will be happy to see us back...especially if we somehow come up with some other bet....Until then!!!
