A Special Happy Birthday Dinner with Sal

 J and I were fortunate to be included as guests to a dinner hosted by best friend Sal. For his birthday last week, Sal hired Custom Dinners by the Furloughed Four to cater his special day.

The team of two Sommeliers and two Chefs, all with 10 years+ of fine dining experience, provide a custom dinner in your own home. They are able to design food and wine pairings to your exact desires. The Furloughed Four will provide a fine dining experience in your own home. They work with their customers to make the perfect multi-course dinner for you and your guests. Also, no dishes to wash afterwards! 

From the moment we entered the soiree, we were handed an Agrumi cocktail and served delicious appetizers.

You can read more about the entire menu and wine pairings HERE.

Every single detail was taken care of and made special for the birthday boy and guests.

Cheers to a Happy Birthday, y'all!

Happy birthday to Honey!

Cheers, y'all!

This. Is. 53.

 Thanks to all of you in blogland for the many thoughful birthday wishes.

After spending a most joyous day at school swamped with birthday greetings, cards, posters, and Reese's, J and I dined on crawfish at our favorite local watering hole, Frankie & Johnny's.

Indeed, turning 53 was made more special by all of you.

And look who wished me well......

This is 53, y'all!

52!!!

Yes! Today I turn 52!!!

I am celebrating at school with a host of students and fellow teachers. Over the weekend, I celebrated with boiled crawfish and an amazing brunch at Saba on Magazine Street.

All in all, 52 has started pretty low key for me.

Cheers to another year around the sun.

Happy Birthday, y'all!

Celebrate 51.

Last year was a great one with a year of celebrating 50! It's hard to believe today marks my 51st year. Bring it on! Celebrate!

Thanks, Cynthia Kolls for my Veuve Clicquot-inspired champagne bottle!

Cheers to 51, y'all!
