We've always celebrated birthdays by going out to dinner. The birthday person gets to pick the restaurant. The Eldest decided she wanted to go to The UxLocale for her dinner. Good choice as the restaurant is our go-to place for special occasions.
On the way in, I got to say hello to Elaine, the owner and chef. Elaine used to work at the Worcester Art Museum where I teach. We had a nice time catching up and then a fabulous dinner.
I ordered a change of pace dish for me. Usually, macaroni (pasta) has to be in gravy (tomato sauce). I ordered a fettuccini and zucchini dish in a butter sauce. Delicious and look at the pretty dish my dinner was served on. I also had a glass of Prosecco. So festive.

Happy birthday to the Eldest. It sounds like a thoroughly enjoyable celebration.
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful day with her
DeleteWhat a great choice for a birthday dinner. It's always a treat to go to a place where you know the owner. That pasta dish sounds amazing, sometimes a change is just what you need, and the plate is beautiful. A glass of Prosecco is the perfect way to celebrate.

Elaine's fare is delicious and beautifully plated even if the china isn't fancy
DeleteI love how you call tomato sauce gravy. And that looks like a very tasty dinner. Yum. Happy birthday to your eldest too. It's kind of scary how quickly it seems the kids have grown up. Were they just little ones?
ReplyDeleteLooks delish! Happy B'day Eldest! 🎂
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY to your Eldest. The dinner looks scrumptious!!
