Aaron, Chris and I decided to catch dinner together while Aaron is still in town. Aaron initially suggested a tapas place in Belden Lane, but we switched it up to a French seafood restaurant called Plouf once we got there. I think, or at least I was, hooked by the $1 oysters they were offering as happy hour specials! It ended up being a much more elaborate dinner with some really good conversations than I had anticipated… also much more expensive than anticipated, but money well spent!
Delicious! But for a price… now I have to starve all week.
I’d drink this beer again just to look at the cool bottle again.
I <3 food. But I think Aaron <3 food more.
This is… us.
I continued my birthday celebration over the weekend with golf at Stonetree GC in Novato, CA Saturday morning. I was a little nervous due to the way I was hitting balls at the range on Thursday, but was secretly hoping I had taken the rust off a bit and would hit better on Saturday. Nope. I played the entire course like I was hitting at the range… note to self, go to the range more. It was a beautiful course on a beautiful day nevertheless (with the exception of the cold front that crept up on us in the final two holes), and a day spent golfing is a day spent well. Thanks Chris for golf! And beer! And the hot dogs!
Back at home we prepared for the birthday house party. Guests quickly trickled in and I went from sober to… not so sober a little too fast. Let’s not drink so fast from now on, yah? Thanks to all who made it to the party, hopefully I gave you some alcohol and didn’t drink everything by myself!
After defeating death Sunday morning and afternoon, it was birthday dinner time at Local Kitchen! It was the perfect venue, primarily because some of us were starving to death and it was all-you-can-eat pizza night! Thanks everybody for a delicious dinner!

After meeting up with Rhie Rhie for some coffee, I came home and started cooking dinner so that I can use the leftovers for lunch on Monday. Then ring ring, “Genki Ramen in 30 mins!” I finished cooking dinner and ran out to the sunset to catch dinner with the usual crew. The ramen was good, although I wasn’t a fan of the slab of butter on top. Yes, I ordered the butter & corn ramen, but who would’ve thought they just throw a slab on top?!! After dinner, I refused to go to Genki crepes a few blocks away for more food. I don’t know why I refused, because I ended up following everybody and eating it anyway. If I was full after the ramen, now I was super full. And fat. But it was all well worth it.
