Turning 40

I've decided to do something different on this milestone occasion: celebrate my birthday with my beloved and only him. The entire weekend was a wonderful and quiet reflection without the unnecessary noise of chaos to measure my perceive popularity.

Meanwhile, I adore Chez Hayden. I requested Andrew's famous rosemary babyback ribs, fresh sweet corn to be accompanied by Joseph Phelps Vintage 1988 Merlot.

Wow! You want lip smacking goodness, Joseph Phelps never disappoints.

For dessert, my personal culinary alchemist made for me molten lava chocolate mini-cakes baked in individual ramikins. I promise to yank the recipe from his private book soon for you to enjoy.
