Birthday, Part 2

For lunch we all went to Johnny's Luncheonette, where I had a yummy California club sandwich. Then we headed over to see "Earth," which was spectacular. I know that some have complained about the "Disneyfication" of the "Planet Earth" series, but it's still breathtaking cinematography—and seeing it on the big screen makes it even more awe-inspiring. Really, really worthwhile viewing, Earth Day or not.

Then we hung out at home for a bit and finally got over to The Local for dinner. It was excellent—all except for Andy's Kobe burger, which was slightly overdone and not terribly flavorful. My lobster mac & cheese was to die for, and the fries are not to be believed.

Now we are back home, and I was just sung to over this:

I am too stuffed to try it right now—but the night is young. Happy birthday to me, indeed!

Told you you'd like the Mac & Cheese. Both times we've gone, we've ordered the basic version for our daughters... and I've ended up eating more of it than they do.

Happy birthday!

Wow- what a great birthday. You have such a thoughtful husband and family. I keep telling my husband that the best thing he can give me for a present is the "gift of time." i.e. send me out shopping for the day or let me sleep in, or whatever. But he just doesn't get it. What kind of yummy cake was that? Were those white chocolate shavings I saw? Pls don't tell me your husband made that for you... he bought it locally, right? :)

Lobster Mac & cheese - OMG - will have to maybe make it there this summer - that sounds SO YUMMY (even as I read it at 7:45am!) Glad you had a great birthday!
