happy birthday alina!
Saturday was Alina’s birthday!
A bunch of us headed out to Bucca di Beppo where we had waaaaay too much food! It was all yummy. But there was a lot. But I still ate as much as possible because it was yummy.
There was a Apple Gorgonzola Salad, Ceasar Salad, Bruschetta, Fried Calamari, Fried Mozzarella, Prosciutto Stuffed Mushrooms, Spaghetti with Meatballs, Penne Basilica, Gnocchi al Telefono, Proscuttio Stuffed Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Italian Broccoli Romano, Tiramisu, Double Dark Chocolate Cake, Homemade Cheesecake, Apple Crostata…
…and 2.5 litres of wine!
Yum!
Although we weren’t at the creepy pope table, we were sitting by a giant picture of a spaghetti-eating contest, and a picture of the bear! (It’s a bear damnit!!!)
Fun times!
After dinner we went back to AlOe’s place and played some Mario Kart and Guitar Hero and watched Mickey Mouse Fight Club for JoeJoe!






Alina's Birthday



I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten named Bacon. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and have been traveling the world ever since.
