I feel so loved - I had a wonderful week and birthday celebration. Tom had a gift for me to open every day for the week.
On Thursday, my coworkers took me out for lunch at Newk's and we had red velvet cake at the lab.
Friday night, friends congregated to J.Clyde for a drink or two or six and dinner. It was so great to see everyone.
Saturday we went shopping for a few Christmas decor items. I can't wait to start decorating!
Saturday night will be forever engraved in our minds and heart. Tom and I went to dinner at Hot and Hot Fish Club. One of our friends had said to sit at the Chef's table/bar and that's exactly what we did. Everything was out of this world, perfect food progression and wine pairings.
Sunday morning we got a bit fancy, maybe it was because we got all dressed up the night before. I attempted cinnamon rolls for the first time (unsuccessfully but I blame Tom, he was supposed to make them for me). We salvaged it and still ate the whole thing. I got out the fine china and the engraved flatware and serveware.
Then we had mimosas or sparkling cranberry juice (found at World Market, very delicious) all day.
I threw some honey garlic chicken in the crockpot and got a "the way that you make this chicken is my favorite" from Tom. I also cooked wild rice for the first time on the stove and it was very good. Tom suggested crispy okra, which we made in the oven and it turned out great as well.
It sure feels great to turn 25 again :)
