Thanks everyone.
Low key birthday this year.
Friday night ( the day before my birthday) we had a virtual game night with my kids ( who are in Maryland and China). My daughter sent me a box oof chocolates and one of those huge gourmet candy apples. I ate it while we played and didnt make much of a mess.
My actual Birthday day , I worked the morning, came home and took my well deserved map, then cooked dinner.
With the last of the tomatoes, made Linguini with garlic, oil, basil and tomatoes ( all home grown except the oil), along with a Focaccia with grape tomatoes and rosemary on the side.
We normally attend a film festival annually over the summer, but this year it went virtual. Instead of all the movies being screened at the theater ( 40 + movies over the Course of 10 days), its only 2 a week that they email you a link to watch anytime between Thursday and Sunday of that week. So, we watched this weeks movies.
The following day( which I still consider my birthday, as it was a full day off) I broke down the garden ( which to me is bitter sweet, but I love being outdoors, so it was fun). Then at night we picked up Chinese food ( I found another restaurant that carries vegetarian hot and sour soup, which is my favorite) and we went to my parents and ate there. Unfortunately , the soup was OK, but not great. Im sill in search of a restaurant that makes it how I like it , since all the previous restaurants have closed.
Thanks again everyone.
