Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Fabulous birthday meal (shaddup, I can make my birthday last at least a week if I try!) tonight with a colleague at work. Much happy yakking and scoffing of amazing food ensued.

I started with the smoked salmon with honey-roasted beetroot and vodka & lime creme fraiche. My colleague had the salt and pepper squid, which she let me try as I'd not had it before. Mmm! Tasty, 's going on my list of things to have again. Then she had a gigantic burger, with added stilton and bacon, with fries and I had the slow roasted pork belly in sticky ginger glaze, with black pudding, mashed potato and green beans. Soooo good!! Finally we "forced" ourselves to have dessert: I went for the cheeseboard while she had the mini-treacle tart with coffee. And I had a Irish coffee as a treat.

We may have waddled out of the restaurant. Slowly :D

All round, a lovely evening *happy is*

So my birthday was yesterday and I completely forgot to post but I had a pretty good day considering I went to work :) Lots of birthday wishes, both at work and on Facebook made for a cheerful day. And I gots parcels!! I got a Dalek mug an' Series 1 of The Professionals an' Big Book of Locked Room Mysteries an' "Bridge of Birds" by Barry Hughes an' "My Drunk Kitchen" by Hannah Hart. I'm a lucky girl :) So thank you halcyon_shift and doccy and jenni411 and mrorangemonkey!

In the evening I went to Stevenage's home game with Bury which I thought was pretty appalling but reading the manager's comments you'd think we'd played a blinder. 0-0 in freezing cold weather is not my idea of fun but there ya go, can't get a good game to order. I think I've just about thawed out now. Just :P

So all in all, a decent day and with the meal on Monday and the meal tonight, I've managed to spread the fun out nicely :D
