There’s always a bumper crop of birthdays in August, including many of my nearest and dearest. (The mother, the brother, many good friends…) I don’t know if it’s just that there are indeed many more births in August than in any other month; (a good friend of mine calls it the “magic of the Christmas season”; go figure! ;p) or that as an Aries, I attract fellow fire signs (all you Leos!); fact is, it’s been a month of feasting and celebrating with friends and family, and I love it!

Here’s a small entry on a dear old friend’s (old in more ways than one, accept it, dude!) little birthday party. Just a note. The lot of us are not just big eaters, we love our food, and are real greedy. We ended up ordering way more than we should have, and even then, thank goodness for M who stopped us from ordering an extra main course on top of the one each of us ordered!

We went to Greenwood Fish Market; it was only when we got there that I realised I havent been back in such a long time. I forgot how fresh the seafood is! We had tons of appetizers; lobster bisque, shellfish bisque, crabcakes, swordfish sashimi, and grilled prawns. I only managed a picture of the prawns because the rest got devoured too quickly!

We argued over the mains (that’s why we wanted to order five for four people!); here are two of them. Pasta with crabmeat and mussels, and good ole’ fish and chips.

And if that wasn’t enough…three desserts!
