Tangerine cafe and birthday booty
By Carrie | July 24, 2007
Doesn’t this logo match well with my current layout? Ding! On Sunday we went to Tangerine Cafe
with Alex and 3 out of 5 of the “605 crew” to celebrate my birthday. The interior was curiously also painted the same colors as our living room and kitchen. I wonder if they’ve come to spy on us and stole the idea from our decor?!
Dinner was very good! I’ve been meaning to try this place for awhile, so when it was my turn to pick (the advantage of it being my birthday), it wasn’t much question. We got an assortment of appetizers, including calamari, lettuce wraps, and Vietnamese summer rolls. Mm. Alex and Oak also both got soups which I had the privilege to sample (ah the birthday girl advantages!). I had a huge bowl of pad thai noodles, yay noodley peanut deliciousness! The waiter even saw that it was my birthday from the gifts and they brought out a huge piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Yum!
I received a hug mug and drinking chocolate from Alex - my first taste of Max Brenner chocolate! More about that later, I’m planning on giving it a try tonight! I also got a gift card from Belinda for Martha Stewart Crafts.. Double drool…
In last week’s birthday loot- from Mom and Dave, I received my first pair of bermuda shorts (hey! they actually are pretty cute!), a few cute polos, a pair of jean capris, and Gordon Ramsay’s autobiography, which I devoured in 2 days. Nirav got me a blender so that we can make margaritas without it exploding all over the kitchen. Oak is getting me a gift that’s “still being embroidered” .. I’m pretending I don’t know what it is… what a mystery!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sounds like you had a great time! I’ll have to add the Ramsay book to my wish list. Right now I’m reading Heat.

You are so dunzo with the book already?? OMG! I can’t wait to hear what you get with your martha stewart certificate and doubly what you make from it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!! And tell me…how was that hot chocolate??

Stephanie - it’s worth a read! It definitely gives you more insight as to why Gordon is the way he is.
How is “Heat”?? That one is on my wish list too!
The hot chocolate was delicious!!! We made some last night. It’s quite a process though!
I got my fleece sleeping bag yesterday - it has my name on it and it’s magenta!! Hotness!
