joy eats

i had to blog so those ugly photos wouldn't be the first thing on my blog. =)

let's see....
yesterday was mike's birthday! yay!
i originally had planned a surprise hamburger bbq for him last sunday after he played basketball, but i found out two days before that he was suppose to drop off his brother at oakland airport at 6:30. i freaked out and said "but you're suppose to play basketball." then with a puzzled look he asked "why does it matter?" so long story short i had to tell him the plan.
despite the lack of surprise the burgers were good tho...
we made fat ones like these
















everyone brought an ingredient for the burger and this was mike's appetizer.... he had 3 all together.


















topher was so cute when he eats his corn.















we also had an ice cream cake! "the best cake ever" according to mike. each mini ice cream cones were his favorite flavors. =)








on wed. his actual birthday we went to Dona Tomas in berkeley, a gourmet mexican place.
and we had halibut cheek and carne asada.




























personally, i would be content with mi pueblo. =p

the birthday date ended with matt damon demonstrating how to survive a car crash... just wrap the seat belt around your forearm a couple times.
