My birthday is today, but the celebration started last night when a friend I've known for 20-plus years took me out to dinner. It was at a pier restaurant...very romantic spot, but my friend is a dude, so sorry, no stories to tell from that aspect.
So...although I never ordered a main course, this is what I had:
Freshly baked sourdough bread - 3 slices
Butter - 3 tabs
Oysters Rockefeller - 5 oysters with the sauce that includes spinach
Steamed Clams with drawn butter - about 8 small suckers
Mudd Pie - half of a gargantuan piece, that I am going to say was for me about 10 ounces of Mocha ice cream, 2 tablespoons of cream and chocolate syrup, 1 tablespoon of Oreo crust.
I didn't step on the scales today. However, we did walk up and down some hills close to the beach for about 20 minutes.
What's the moral of the story? Don't make every day a birthday celebration day, but don't freak out if you extend your "celebration"....a bit!
Have an awesome day...fill you in on the rest of the birthday eatings later.
P.S. I just realized I probably could have saved a million calories by not putting butter on my bread or pouring drawn butter on my clams.
