Happy T day! We're on the storm watch here Monday night in New Hampshire. A HUGE snowstorm is coming tomorrow. At my house we are suppose to get somewhere between 18-24 inches (46-64 centimeters). I am writing this while I am waiting for the no school phone call, which I expect since we are under a blizzard warning.
And it is March, right? I am not dreaming that it is almost spring?
So last week I ended up going out 3 nights in a row. Unfortunately, I never managed to take complete photos for any one night. So I have a little montage for you.
It started Thursday night. There are 4 of us ladies at school that go out to celebrate our birthdays, This time it was a celebration for 2 birthdays, my own and my friend Dee's. We went to swanky new Italian restaurant and had a delicious meal. I had a side salad with beets,escarole and pistachios on a soft cheese bed. Then I had the appetizer size serving of butternut squash cappelletti with a brown sugar glaze.
Oh my.
I had a glass of wine which you can't see, but for dessert, we ordered this plate of cannolis. We all had a bite of each of these-the chocolate filled, the pistachio filled and the traditional. And look at how the chef decorated the plate for us birthday girls. It was a fun night out!
And then Friday night I had a 60th birthday surprise party. During the evening the weather changed and as the bitter cold temperatures moved in we had snow squalls
Not sure you can see it since I snapped this photo as we drove by the beach, but it was covered in snow from one of the squalls that came through.
And I never did get any photos from the party, but I had a good time.
And then on Saturday it was really really cold so the hubby and I stayed home all day. But in the evening we decided to be brave and head out for dinner at the Mexican restaurant near us.
Finally a drink for T. And we split this plate of nachoes Carona.
And the hubby wanted fried ice cream, which game in this tortilla shell with chocolate and strawberry sauce with a few little splashes of whipped cream.
And while I wrote this post the phone call arrived canceling school. I guess I'll be sleeping in in the morning.
Hope your T Day is more spring like than mine.

WOW, you really HAVE been celebrating your birthday. It sounds like you have had a lot of fun, and you have really made me quite hungry, too. I hope the margarita was good. I liked the glass they served it in. Reminds me of the southwest (grin).
So glad you can sleep in tomorrow, because I was a bit worried that you might have to brave the weather. I'm having a terrible time adjusting to this time change.
Thanks for sharing your various birthday celebrations with us for T this Tuesday.
What a lot of goodies! Yummm!
Hope you don't get buried in the snow!! :)
Sorry the weather is so bad, stay safe! Glad you were able to get out and celebrate a lot, love the look of the food and drink. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

I've been hearing the predictions of snow for your area on the news. Hope you stay safe and warm. I don't think anything looks colder than snow on the beach!
Belated birthday wishes, good to hear you had a great time.

Well Happy Birthday my dear!!! All that food and drink looks absolutely scrumptious.. But i'll bet the best gift of all was the call canceling school and a morning sleep in.. :) Happy happy T day! Hugs! deb
What a fun way to celebrate the birthdays, and the food looks and sounds delicious. I like Italian food -and I like Mexican food. I'd have been a happy camper either place :) Those nachos look tasty.
