Once again it was Suzanne's birthday so even though some of the family was away, we knew it was time to gather Suzanne Ben and me for a celebration that made Suzanne happy because we shifted plans from Big Fish and went to Witherspoon Grill where these were the specials and these were the drinks from which Suzanne and I ordered fancy drinks and Ben had water before the bread came along with the artichoke appetizer which was quite good and was accompanied by an unexpected visit from Mark Burstein and Michelle Christy who didn't stay to see Suzanne's fish my macaroni and cheese with fries or Ben's chicken which arrived before my salad. I didn't use the ketchup before greeting Lisa Fischetti and Sigmond who were there and then I properly dressed my fries. After dinner, we went to the Bent Spoon for chocolate which made Suzanne happy and Ben emerged from is chocolate to pose for this picture.

A few days later, I drove Suzanne to Philadelphia airport and then went to lunch with Dr Len and Judy as I posed for this self portrait before my omelette and Judy's arrived as did Dr Len's main course. Back at home, I took Ben Strauss and Ben Dobkin out to dinner so that I could take this self portrait and Ben S. could have this salad as Ben D. had this burger and I had this sandwich complete with dipping chili. This was all a prelude to seeing Ratatouille where the food looked much better.
