So, today is my real birthday. BUT, Matt and I both have work and school until very late–so, we did a lot of celebrating this weekend (including my bday party below).

Last night Matt took me to a place I have been wanting to go foreeever, but haven’t because it’s a little on the expensive side. It’s an all vegan, all organic restaurant that specialized in teas of all kinds.

This is what we ordered:

ziti al forno (ME)
organic semolina pasta tossed with a creamy tofu ricotta cheese + spinach filling — topped with house marinara sauce + nut parmesan cheese-served with toasted garlic foccacia bread includes side salad + dressing infusion of choice

mandala masala platter (MATT)
organic garbanzo beans, onions + tomatoes stewed to perfection with traditional Indian spices-served with brown rice + sautéed garlic spinach

I forgot the names of the teas we ordered, but I do remember they were magnificent!

Everything was REALLY good. We will for sure be going back for special occasions.

We took pics of our meals with Matt’s camera phone-so, I’ll post them later.

I had a wonderful birthday party filled with the sweetest friends in the whole world…mine!

Here’s some pics:

My wonderful friend made me a VEGAN Cookies and Cream birthday cake. Everyone ate it up. After they were done, we announced that it was vegan. haha The look on my omnivorous male friends was priceless. Thanks, Linds.
