happy birthday giordano!
man i had a damn good time last night. 
my cousin had planned a bday dinner for me at
roy's in san francisco.  i don't go there very often, i consider it a treat when i do, and a treat it was!  dana's boyfriend brian works there so the staff and chefs working last night hooked us up!  brian greeted me with a beautiful lei when he arrived.  (parkin and i got there really early to have drinks at the bar)  soon after, everyone else arrived and joined us.  we were bombarded with appetizers and drinks galore as soon as we were seated.  everyone had a piece or three of everything from ribs, pot stickers, ahi tuna rolls, octopus, shrimp skewers, another raw fish item over a crispy thing, hehe, szechuan calamari.... man good stuff, but that was only for appetizers!  for my main course, i had the surf and turf with filet mignon and butterfish with a bit of fras gras.  yeah baby, it was amazing.  parkin had the rack of lamb with grouper, dana had the scallop and lobster bisque with carpaccio, ray had the chicken, ye had the butterrfish, sel also had the surf and turf, and i don't remember the rest.  everything looked and tasted like heaven.  and thennnn, for dessert came chocolate souffles, lilikoi sorbet, and mango mousse birthday cake from shuberts.  to wash everything down, beers, cosmos, an assortment of sake, mai tai's, and hawaiian martini's with pineapple infused vodka.  the martini's were soo good, very smooth. thanks to brian and dana we were treated to a feast only roy's can accomplish with such amazing grace, food, and glorious presentation. 

thanks to everyone who could make it last night on such short notice.  i hope you enjoyed the night as much as i did and left with your bellies as full as mine. 
and an extra special thanks to dana for all the love. 
youre the bestest!
i also want to thank everyone for their birthday wishes via the internet, emails, phone calls, hugs, gifts, and cards.  i'm truly a blessed girl.  thank you.
