birthday fun!
Posted by Meg
Tomorrow is my birthday, hurrah! On Friday night, Boyfriend took me to Mrs. K’s Toll House in Silver Spring. He went there with his family for Christmas, and has been on about how amazing it is ever since. That is to say, this meal easily had a 6 month build up, and still delivered. I can count on one hand the number of meals I have had that were as good as Friday’s dinner. In short: best foodie birthday present ever.
To start, I had a gaspoucho with terribly delicate lump crab meat, chilled. There were dinner rolls, both sour dough and fluffier white (the melt in your mouth kind) and molded butter. For the main course, I had quail with duck stuffing, two baby carrots with the stems on and outrageously tender asparagus stalks. For dessert, we split cheesecake with honest to goodness strawberry sauce, naturally sweet, no that gross processed high fructose corn syrup stuff. There were really good cappuccinos. And we split a bottle of 2004 pinot noir from Bogle Winery in California. In short, probably one of the top 3 meals I’ve ever eaten. Best birthday present ever!
