On Aging

A few weeks before my birthday I found out that a mob of guys were going to take my fiancée away the whole day for his bachelor party. I knew that the best man has been really busy plotting the whole thing and I didn’t have the heart to tell him to shove the day, gathering 15 guys at one date was difficult enough! So I planned to go out the whole day too, since knowing him, he might prepare prepare a surprise that would then be a waste . Luckily, there was the Summer Carnival, and I’ve planned to go there even before I knew about the bachelor thing. As he knew I’d be away the whole day long, in replace, he took me for dinner the night before ^___^

The dinner was F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!!! I really love seafood, and this is what we got for a 6 course menu:

I had smoked herring with rucola, shrimp bisque, oyster with 3 different cheeses, scallop with truffle, LOBSTER on a bed of lambears, mango sorbet champage (not pictured) and mini desserts: chocolate mousse, pannacotta,  steamed chocolate pudding, frambozen icecream – it was glorious . The dinner lasted from 8 til 12 – or else I couldn’t eat them all! I could safely say that this was the best birthday dinner I’ve had, even before the food showed up, I felt totally elated, couldn’t stop smiling the whole night long. The atmostphere was delightful, the company super charming, the food absolutely scrumptious…yummm…what a delicious way to turn 28!! ^___^
