While on a walking tour of the Garden District and Cemetery we stumbled upon a wave of green all heading down Third Street. Green beer fueled the annual Parasol’s St. Patrick’s Day block party in the Irish Channel. What fun! What crowds! I got my face painted, enjoyed the Irish tunes and mingled with the party goers. After a bit we headed back to our hotel by trolley to get ready for supper.

I wore my hottie top and long black skirt with green beads of course and Tom wore his celery green suit with green beads. We looked dapper! We walked to our restaurant called Mr. B’s Bistro. This spot was recommended by my dentist and boy was it fancy. When we got to the restaurant they greeted ups at the door and led us to our reserved table for two. The maitre de brought me a bouquet of birthday balloons. How sweet! We had 3 table servers in tuxs, a grand piano player, linen table cloths and napkins and the best food this side of the Mississippi. We had jumbo scallops, with spinach salad and again seafood gumbo ( can’t get enough) for appetizers. As an entree Tom had Mr.B’s famous BBQ Shrimp (very messy to eat so they supply a bib) and I had a hickory grilled grouper with a hollandy type sauce. All very lip smacking good! To end the evening we had chicory coffee and a slice of the best pecan pie and homemade French vanilla ice cream. What a memorable 50th birthday!
THANK YOU TOM, I love you so much.
