We went to the Rebel Smokehouse as planned
http://rebelssmokehouse.com/ DH & I shared a MeetMeatEat platter for 2 followed by cheesecake and washed down with red wine for me & steam beer for DH, which he said was nice & 'chewy'. Izzy had a little Rebel Slider with a Corn Dog, followed by warm apple pie and washed down with a Dr Pepper/cherry, but I don't think she was that keen on the drink. DH tried it & declared it dreadful (cough medicine - for those of us of a
ahem certain age in UK, cough medicine was cherry flavoured in our youth and - well
yuck to that flavour now). Thoroughly enjoyed dinner.
Then came home to find all these wonderful birthday wishes on the forum - thank-you friends.
At work I took in a lemon Victoria sponge, and also one of the other ladies at work provided a Victoria sponge, hers had buttercream in it, but when asked if it was real butter, she said
'yes, then no - it was Stork marg, but you couldn't tell the difference'. I didn't say, but I
was able to tell the difference, the Stork leaves an oily aftertaste, which you don't get with butter, but then I haven't eaten marg for years now, because I believe that it is not good for you, whereas butter is.
So now all I have to do is plan out what to spend my birthday money on
By the way Happy anniversary Cathy, you chose a good day for it
