Birthday blast!
I have had quite the birthday fun yesterday and today. About eight people gathered at my apartment to play kings and hang out. Carla and Biz both baked cupcakes and Courtney made cookies. All the deliciousness was followed up by dancing at the 'Backer.
Then Carla told me we were going out to dinner tonight, that I was just to pick a restaurant and the people and that she would handle all the details. She picked me up and then said we had to pick up Jake (as it was raining and cold, this seemed normal). We walk up to the door. Jake opens the door wearing an apron and I notice all these streamers. Courtney and Biz yelled surprise. Sean and Pat were manning the grill outside and came in later. Jake loves to cook and had made grilled peasant (which his family had shot), grilled chicken, a white wine and mushroom sauce, blanched green beans, and mashed sweet potatoes w/ a butter sage sauce. Oh, and short ribs for an appetizer. JP added bismati rice and curried lentils (there were 2 vegetarians in the group). They had a giant balloon and a cake with pink flowers.
All in all, a wonderful birthday. 24 is looking to be a good year.
