how to celebrate fdq's birthday: step 2...

fancy schmancy dinner! saturday night i treated fdq to a fabu dinner at michael mina. the dinner was delish and the service was spot on. you have a choice of a three-course prix fixe menu or the six-course tasting menu. we selected the three-course because the dishes were more intriguing. the highlights were fdq's shabu-shabu and premo beef tasting as well as my lobster pot pie and dessert. we were so full that we had to take the cookies home - they were delish too.

i'm still trying to figure out why the candle holder is so huge (that the silver circular thing).
