We would need to pace out the husband's birthday celebrations with friends if it involves meals. There's no way we could eat so much every day. We have to schedule these heavier meals apart. So nowadays, birthday celebrations will last the month. Hahahah.
Besides joining the husband at the gym for a Grid class in honor of his birthday, I also took him (and the dog) out to dinner at Fico. It was a super hot day, but the restaurant's fans cooled the area sufficiently, along with a sea breeze that stirred. Whewwww. It was like 35°C, and in the day, felt like 40°C.
Choya likes her little spot at the restaurant. They also bothered to put ice cubes into her water bowl. She only drinks from clean bowls that hold iced water. Of course she would drink from this one. It was so hot and humid that we didn't feel like drinking much. Alcohol is just going to make us feel warmer. No bottles then. The husband took a pint of beer, and I took a glass of red.
The husband had half a dozen oysters, and also stracciatella cheese with endives. We shared a portion of malfadine with ossobucco, almonds and red wine. The portions of pasta here are small-ish. But it was sufficient for one person. We couldn't (cannot) do a plate of pasta each; had to share.
We were single-mindedly interested in the fish. A whole branzino was ordered. It came faster than the cautioned long wait of 35 minutes. The fish was really braised to perfection. It was delicious. There was no point for the server to split for us. We just ate it as is, and cleaned it.
