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.
