MY GREEK TAVERYNA, Coquitlam (My Birthday Dinner)






How all our cakes will look after singing Happy Birthday and before cutting it, thanks to my little one's quick Karate-chopping hands.


My real birthday evening was spent with family at My Greek Taverna in Coquitlam. I decided to order something different from my usual beef souvlaki and found that I should've stuck with that one. The dolmades dinner was so-so but it was my birthday dinner (and mom's treat) so I made the best of it. If you are looking for the best dolmades in Vancouver, you have to go to Stepho's. That's where I had my very first taste and experience and maybe it set the standard too high, but that's not a bad thing is it? Anyway, the company (and stealing a bunch of calamari from my mom's plate) made up for it. Oh having some of the cake spelling "Happy Birthday Justing" was a nice way to end the evening. I would say that I had a very nice birthday but I don't celebrate "birthdays." I celebrate birth "weeks" or "months" and this year, I choose to feel special and get what I want for the remainder of this month.

Feeling overly entitled,

My Friends know me too well...











What do you get someone who you know loves fashion and is a shopaholic? Well you get them something they don't have 10 of! My closest knew exactly what to get me: cookbooks, interior design magazines and a gift card for more books or magazines! By the time we move into a bigger home, I want to own tons of cookbooks and books on interior design and fashion. I really am getting older. I've graduated from reading and owning magazines to actual books... imagine that.

Tweets before Birthday Wishes


That's right. It was more important for me to take a photo of my birthday cake on the Berry than to make my wish. I mean, first things first people! Time to tweet and update my blog!
