We celebrated my birthday again this evening. Chris and Anara took us out for a birthday dinner at Nuestra Cocina, a Portland restaurant specializing in the cuisine of central Mexico. We had to wait half an hour on the patio for a table, because they don't take reservations. Once we got to our table, we had all sorts of delicious and unusual dishes, including a salad of "Grilled cactus, spicy green salsa, avocado & cotija cheese " and "Poblano chile stuffed with braised squash & Oaxacan cheese." It was all delightful, as was the company.
Chris and Anara had picked out some thoughtful birthday gifts. One was a jar opener. He has one, and I commented to him that it worked really well and would help me with the arthritis in my thumbs. It's an OXO Good Grips Jar Opener, very handy.
The second present was a Wii remote, so Ken and I can play games together without having to switch the remote back and forth. Thanks, Chris and Anara!
We slept in a bit this morning, still jet lagging after our trip yesterday.
