Today was a special day--Some friends and I
celebrated another friend's 50th birthday! We
met at The Mission Road and Antique Mall and
tucked in the back corner there you will find
a delightful gem. The Bloomsbury Bistro.
Here we are: L-R: Myself, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL--Ann, Alice and Kristen.
The bistro has some of THE most deliciousfood I have tasted in a long time.
Above, Alice had the Bistro Special--
Red Lentil and Vegetable Soup
and half of the Seafood Salad Sandwich.
Kristen had the Welsh Rarebit with Tomatoesand Turkey and a Garden Salad.
I had the Bistro Special--Half of the Chicken

Little teeny tiny cakes ! She was happy with this present--I just clicked too fast. :)
Now let me tell you these little cakes are
also most delish and they come in all sorts
of flavors. Yum!
"Would anyone care for dessert?" Well, ofcourse we would!!!! Alice had the Mango
Mousse with Lime Curd Fruit Tart.
Kristen had the Vanilla Bean Creme Bruleewith a Cookie.
Ann and I split the Toasted Carrot Cake.This is served warm and let me tell you this
is not your ordinary carrot cake! See that
creme filling, the carmel sauce, and those
nuts??? Goodness gracious !!!!!!!

Needless to say-we had a most delightful
birthday lunch and the best part is that
Ann didn't know that Alice and Kristen were
coming!!!! I was a bit sneaky on this. YEA!
I love it when a plan turns out!
