This past Saturday was Jason's birthday (one more year until a "big" one!!). We had planned a nice dinner out, but one birthday meal turned into 3! It's all good. We don't eat out often and all the meals were thoroughly enjoyed. It all started with lunch on Saturday. Sarah was in a volleyball tournament and we had gone to watch one of her games, which wound up starting abut a 1/2 hour late. This got us to the mall to have Noah's skates sharpened for an afternoon game over the lunch hour. While we waited for the skates we hit up Thai Express for some
shrimp Pad Thai:
Pad Thai has got to be in the top 5 of my favourite meals to eat. I just love the stuff! Noah didn't finish all his so guess what I ate for lunch today? ;)
After a hockey game and some more volleyball....Sarah's school was the only elementary one out of 10 and they placed second in the tourney!!!....Jason and I made our way to
Milestone's for a nice, quiet, AKA no kids fighting, meal out. First up was a much needed peach Bellini:
It was bigger than that, but I realized too late that the flash ruined the first photo. Can I just say that Bellini's are da bomb?? Milestone's has a small gluten free menu from which I usually order the salad with a salmon fillet. This time I tried the Mediterranean chicken...
It was stuffed with goat cheese and served with chickpeas, cherry tomatoes and bok choy. I was a fan! And gluten free options meant I ordered some delicious DESSERT!!
Chocolate Ganache Torte with a pecan crust and caramel sauce. Silky, smooth, decadent....everything you could want in a dessert! Jason had steak, shrimp, mashed potatoes, mushrooms and his birthday dessert, vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate wafer cookies:
His sparkler went out before I could snap a picture! LOL We basically went home and flopped on the couch afterwards! We were up and at'er early Sunday morning for Noah's soccer practice. No sleeping in for us!! Seeing as the kids "missed" dinner, Noah decided that we should all go out for breakfast. So here we have meal #3!
I munched away on a 3 egg mushroom & Swiss cheese omelette. I traded most of my potatoes for more grilled tomatoes.....I like those much better!
So there you have our 3 birthday meals! And just as a side note; my crack is back!
Bye for now!!
