Venti Cinque

Oh how I love birthdays even when I am sick. What could be better than having Joe show up to my classroom with an obscene bouquet of flowers that the janitor so appropriately exclaimed when he walked into the room "Man, Someone really loves this lady!" And to make the day better, We went to Scalo. We had a cheese platter that made my heart patter. My favorite salad, with pine nuts and goat cheese croutons, Fresh Made pasta, and a bistecca that might be the only thing worth sending me into cardiac arrest. Mmm. Best of all. He is taking me to San Francisco as my gift.
I can't wait. Thanks for making my birthday the best JoeB!

I wish I could give you one of these right now:
