My 'Favorite Foods' Birthday Dinner

It has been a while since I blogged! We had a long time without a Mystery Basket Sunday dinner at the regular place but I am looking forward to more Sundays to come soon.
The first opportunity this month for us to gather together was a special day, it was my birthday! Yay! Below you will find the menu and pictures from my dinner cooked by the infamous Chef Brian Lynch. Once again, we ate till we were stuffed and it was GOOOOOOOD!
