    Birthday Lunch Date at Browns

    Do I still have time to talk about my Birthday lunch date??? 🙂 I’m a little late on things but I thought I would share. Monday I took the day off from work to Chris and I planned a lunch date for my birthday. We went to Brown’s Brewery in Troy. I love Brown’s!! Not only can I get some delicious local beer, but also a really tasty black bean and barley burger. My beer of choice was the Cherry Raspberry, complete with a cherry at the bottom!

I took a photo exactly like this back in the day!  Lets discuss Bombers for a minute. I have a love/hate relationship…

I’ve never had a birthday party for myself, as an adult, so I figured it would be super fun. And it was! I made some tasty treats for everyone… sugar cookie stars! guiltless white bean guacamole the whole spread And my cousin Liz, who hosted the party, even ordered a cake from Crisan Bakery on Lark Street, and it was gorgeous (and delicious). It was chocolate mousse with a hint of coffee. I can’t remember the official name of the cake. And boy was it good!!! Crisan never…
