bEARTHday T

 

 I'm inviting you to share my bEARTHday celebrations in food and drink.

As I explained last week, my No Name friends took me to dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant.  Most everyone knows I will order Chili Rellenos, but there were none on the menu where we went.  Instead, we started with a Mexican soup I had never had before.  It had various pastas, onions, and potatoes.  

 

Next came a tomatillo salad with cilantro-lime dressing.  It was garnished with slices of avocado and lime wedges.

 

The main course was tamales.  It was served with jicama slaw that included sliced cucumbers and diced bell peppers, and sprinkled with lime juice and more cilantro.

 

For dessert there was flan, a favorite I love.   However, the ladies sent me home with a chocolate cupcake and a dozen cookies (six sugar and six snicker doodle).  

They also gifted me with this lovely bouquet of flowers.

The next day, my foodie friend Sally

took me to Golden Corral, where I got 

carrot cake, not quite as good as my grandmother always made for my birthday, but acceptable at least.

Sally is pigging out on fresh fruit and I am drinking ice water with lemon.  For me it's cake first!!!

Now you've shared my bEARTHday with me, it's time to share your own drink related post.  It can be photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  Please remember to visit your fellow T participants. 

We are under a tornado watch.  Tornadoes have already been spotted in several western counties and the storm is definitely headed this way.  I'm taking my fur babies to the basement where hopefully we will be safe until we get the "all clear."
