I feel loved!

Tonight I met a whole bunch of folks out in St. Albert for my birthday dinner, since yesterday evening was pretty much entirely taken up with the game. The food was excellent as always. I had a fish and crawdads dish that was so delicious it actually caused me to forget what I was saying. I also got to try a root beer glazed dish, and even though it tasted exactly like A&W root beer, it still went fantastically well with the sweet onions and pork. The chef out there has never failed to please. (Well, except for not having any hush puppies. That made me sad.)

But, as great as the food was, far better was the company. We managed to fill a huge table, and I had a great time chatting with everyone, even though there were so many folks I had to migrate along one edge of the table just to speak to everyone! It was a ton of fun, and I am so lucky to know such awesome people. Yay! ^_^
