Enough Already!

Tonight we celebrated my niece's birthday. That makes three birthday celebrations in four weeks! We went out to a local Italian restaurant. At this restaurant you can order either a single entree or a shared entree, which will feed 4 to 6. We opted for a bunch of shared entrees. Wow, was there the food! We started off with cheesy garlic bread and an apple/gorgonzola/cranberry/walnut salad. Yum-o. Then came the entrees. Four of them. There was ravioli, lemon chicken, lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs. Just when we thought the buttons on our pants were going to pop off, the waitress came around asking if we were interested in any dessert. Well, you can't have a birthday celebration without cake, now can you? Of course not. So dessert we shall have. We ordered a shared platter of desserts. It was called the Dolce Platter. It consisted of tiramisu, double dark chocolate cake, raspberry cheesecake and apple crostata. Good doesn't even begin to describe this tasty foursome. As we exited the restaurant and were saying our goodbyes, someone in our group noticed a big red neon sign across the street which read, "Vic Tanny Fitness". Ah yeah, maybe tomorrow, but certainly NOT today!
