FUIMOS CON AMIGOS Tynan y la Diosa Elena a Mesón Salvador para mi cena de cumpleaños. Por supuesto que era perfecto desde el principio hasta el final. San Geraldo había reservado una mesa en el interior y uno de los empleados, Lizbeth, había puesto la mesa especialmente para nosotros. Hizo dos rosas de papel, una estaba junto a mi plato y la otra estaba dentro de una copa de vino, que estaba coronada con una vela votiva. Yo estaba abrazado por toda la familia Mesón Salvador cuando llegamos y luego vimos la mesa decorada. Lizbeth estaba muy orgullosa de su trabajo. Cada vez que Adrián pasaba, cantaba una línea de "La Bella y la Bestia" (sólo conocía una línea). Cuando llegó mi postre de pastel de queso, descubrí (bien, decidí) que en España, cuando se llega a la edad de 63 años, se puede comenzar a contar de 0 de nuevo.

NOT ONE GOOD PICTURE OF US, BUT PLENTY TO MAKE ME SMILE. NO UNA BUENA FOTO DE NOSOTROS, PERO MUCHO PARA HACERME SONRISA. |

DeleteWow! And just think, we get to do our terrible twos all over again!
How wonderful! Good family, friends and family.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteA great day and I felt (and feel) very grateful.
What a great celebration! And you look good for 0!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteI like to think of myself as Naught.
What a lovely celebration!
ReplyDeleteYou two are such handsome fellas!
So next year you will be 1 in Spanish?
Jim:
DeleteNo wonder English speakers have such a hard time learning their numbers in Spanish.
Such a lovely and thoughtful birthday celebration. I will be 0 in 8 months. Great photo of you and SG.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI do like this Zero thing. A birthday filled with joy and gratitude. Thanks!
Perfect! Next year you'll be one year old!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteI think I'm really going to enjoy being infantile again.
Happy Zero! What a great picture of you and Jerry!
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteThanks! On the terrace around midnight.
How can you eat such wonderful food all the time and not get fat? I feel like I put on a pound or two every time I read your blog!!! Lol. Glad your birthday was nice.
ReplyDeleteJennifer:
DeleteGenetics, metabolism... maybe luck. One thing my mother did right was to encourage healthy snacking. I rarely eat more at a sitting than satisfies my appetite. I love to exercise. Walked 5 miles again yesterday and will walk more than that today. Or maybe it's a tapeworm!
You guys certainly enjoy some good meals. And you have a definite skill when it comes to photographing food. It always looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteWe are very lucky! Thanks again for the compliment on my photography!
MORE FISH!!!!!! You guys are going to grow gills! I must admit though it looks yummy, but I can not take anchovies. Love your napkin....how nice the service was and every detail. Gotta love places like that.
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteSo much good fish to choose from. I HATED anchovies before coming to Spain. I can't believe what I was missing. Turns out I had never had good fresh ones. I recommend a trip to Spain and a good restaurant! Meson Salvador is filled with love. Great food. Great family!
Mitchell, what a lovely dinner you had! Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing your special day.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Robin
Robin:
DeleteMy pleasure. Thanks for joining me!
splendid photos
ReplyDeleteYou take the cheesecake: I will take the anchovies.
Spo:
DeleteI usually don't enjoy anchovies served that way. Elena insisted we taste them. Amazing. I'll have them next time I'm at Meson Salvador's.
Looks like a wonderful celebration! I'd say "you don't look a day over 0," but that just doesn't sound right.
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteMaybe, "You don't look a day over Naught."
Looks so fabulous! I'm glad you were treated to such a special day!
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteThanks. Hope your trip was as wonderful as it looked!
