A Good Year

Hi!  I know that 28 is going to be a really good year! 

I had a wonderful birthday!  I spent the day with swanky boy where he proceeded to spoil me through the day by making me not only breakfast, but lunch.  While I lounged around watching re-runs of Four Weddings on TLC.  Good stuff.

After being lazy most of the day, we decided to see a  movie before heading to meet my family for dinner.  We both thought the movie, Friends with Kids, looked really funny.  And how can you go wrong with most the cast being from Bridesmaids!?!

Although the movie was good, it’s not what we expected.  The trailer must have thrown us off, because it was a much more serious plot than we thought. 

Since the movie theater wasn’t far from the restaurant, we headed right over.  The boy and I got all dressed up for the evening.

The family and I enjoying the evening!

I really had a difficult time deciding on a place for dinner, but ended up going with a favorite of mine, Settebello.  Seriously, their pizza is ammmaziiinng!

Being the birthday girl, I had to order a drink.  I went with the Giocca de Limone, which is a like an Italian lemon drop.  Molto Bene!!

Made with grappa, limoncello, basil, and fresh squeezed lemon juice, this drink had some serious kick to it!!  Limocello brings me back to when I studied abroad in Italy.  We drank Limocello mixed with grapefruit juice.  Thinking back, what kind of combination was that!?!  This drink was not as sour, that’s for sure!

After looking through the menu, a few of us decided to share appetizers.

Our side of the table went with the caprese salad.  This is one of my favorite appetizers.  Fresh mozzarella and tomatoes simply dressed with olive oil, sea salt, and basil.  Perfection!

I have eaten at Settebello a few times and seem to gravitate towards their Quattro Formaggi pizza.  This time was no different.
