My Birthday!

I had a great birthday!  Lots of Happy Birthday wishes and good friends!

I had dinner at The Paris on my actual birthday with my great friends Sara, Jen, & Alex.  Nick had class that night and it's an important one he couldn't miss so we're going out another night.  We had a delicious flat bread dish with Gruyere cheese, Cremini mushrooms, and fresh thyme.  I ordered salmon with arugula and asparagus for dinner which was also very good.  Thank goodness for good friends, without whom I'd be sunk.  I probably would have ended up sitting in bed feeling sorry that I wasn't doing anything for my birthday but Sara was kind enough to plan an evening out.  I really appreciated it.  I am so lucky to have such great people in my life.

Tonight we went to dinner at one of my favorite places, Myung Ga, with my parents and Nick's parents and Grandma W.  It's a Korean place and I get a mushroom soft tofu soup and BBQ chicken (which isn't really BBQ - more grilled and thinly sliced).  They also serve excellent kimchi and sprouts and potatoes.  I always love eating here as long as it isn't in the summer.  Summertime isn't the best time to go because the dishes come out boiling hot!

Next up - gourmet dinner at Dirk and Judy's for Sunday dinner!  Judy is an excellent cook and I know it will be wonderful.  Bring on the pounds!  It's a good thing I have an excuse to eat more calories per day.

I'm sooo grateful for wonderful friends & family, good food, and no pictures this year to document how gigantic I'm getting!

Thanks everyone for an excellent birthday!
