Birthday Smorgasbord

K thought of the post's title and told me to write it after we went (quite late at night! 9:30) to eat here [site with sound] with the boys to celebrate his birthday. phew! what a long sentence! I'm not going back to edit though, it's just too late at night (3 am, actually! but I want the post to have yesterday's date).

We went there for the first time last November, on an impromptu date one Saturday night (we left the boys with friends) and we didn't have reservations, so we had to eat at the bar. It was my first cheese fondue ever -- I the one who was accidentally born in Switzerland and who grew up looking at a fondue recipe (in French) printed on a decorative kitchen towel tacked to the wall. We loved the chocolate fondue best, though, and we thought that it was a fun way to eat and that the boys would love it. We vowed to come back if he got a job and if we sold the house.

Both were accomplished and tonight, because there was his birthday to celebrate, we went back. They had a $35 special (Ladies' night out or something), so K and I had it and shared with the boys. Fondue (spinach artichoke, yum!), a salad, the "entree" (no meats for us, only veggies and pasta) and the chocolate fondue. It was lovely, and it felt very healthy afterwards!

So, here's the post happy birthday K! In precisely a month and 2 weeks I'll catch up!
