Our Pig!

Lobster Pasta

Claudio, Cathy and the Chocolate Carmel Birthday Cake

Cake and Ice Cream

Friends on the Patio



We celebrated my 70th birthday at Barbrix, our favorite neighborhood restaurant. Don is a fantastic chef, especially of Italian Food, which is his greatest love. We couldn't invite everyone we knew to the party, but it was great to spend the time with these special friends. The weather cooperated and we were able to eat outside on their patio. The service was perfect! Claudio chose perfect Wines to accompany the food.

I always have Pig on my birthday and Barbrix cooked a whole one for me. Don made a delicious Porchetta.  Oysters started the dinner, followed by a Cucumber Soup, my favorite Wedge Salad then homemade Lobster Pasta followed by the Pig with tons of side dishes including the absolutely best Cauliflower. The mandatory birthday cake was delicious - Chocolate Carmel from Cake Monkey. What a perfect night!

70 doesn't feel that different than 69!
