Rob's Birthday Dinner Thursday Oct 28







Picture 1. Grandpa, Avery and Grandma on one side of the booth. Picture 2. Avery laughing so hard he can't sit up. He and Grandpa telling jokes. Picture 3. Audrey loved Papa's Birthday cake.
*** We took Rob and the kids to Buca Di Beppo for Rob's birthday and had a wonderful meal. We had pre ordered the dinner, all small size plates (these serve 3 people family style) starting with Cheesey Bread Florentine, the Mixed Green Salad with Gorganzola and Prosciutto, then Veal Parmagian and Quattro Al Forno (a big platter of assorted baked pastas) and plates of spagetti and meatballs for the kids. They accidently brought us a plate of Veal Saltimbocca, which we hadn't ordered, so they gave us that for free. We had never tried that before and it was good too. We finished dinner with a fantastic Birthday cake. I had ordered 4 slices, but the waiter pointed out that would cost more than a whole cake, why not get the entire cake? OK, we did - and it was the the biggest cake I have ever seen! 3 layers, I think armaretto flavorings, each layer a different jewel color, red, green and yellow, covered with a white cream frosting that was covered in fresh coconut - WOW. We each had a giant slice. Rob took home a huge half and I offered the waiter the other huge amount because Reg and I could not eat all that cake! Reg and I also took home the leftovers which were a great dinner for us on Friday nite. Us and the kids loved the Italian ambience.
