Happy Birthday to Adam

On the 27th Adam turned a year older. We were both glad that he was still in Colorado, so that we could spend it together. We celebrated by going out to dinner. Adam drove up to Denver and met me at work. We went to a European Cafe called Yia Yia's. It was very nice sitting out on the patio and catching up on the events of the day.

After dinner we came home and had some cake. It was German chocolate. Adam had told me that was his favorite. Now, the funny thing is that our friend Dan thought the cake was a hamburger when he saw this photograph. The explaination is that we have one round pan and one square pan, so I combined them. It tasted the same non the less. ;)

Then, the next day we met up with our friends Dan and Elizabeth Dolton. We met them in Boulder at a Moraccan restaurant called Mataam Fez. We had heard of this place from a popular magazine of the Denver area called "5280".

It was quite a different experience. It is one that you will remember. We all really enjoyed it. You take your shoes off, sit on cushions on the ground with pillows at your back and eat with your hands. They wash your hands with Lemon water while we used towels draped over our shoulders as napkins. The lighting was very low. Everyone but Kim had some Moraccan wine. It smelled and apparently also tasted very spicy and flavorful. The dishes were extremely authentic. Adam has a cornish hen. I had some vegitables with couscous. Dan had a spicy chicken. And Beth had a spinach pot pie Moraccan style in a flakey casing. Here's a photo of us when we were all finished.

O.K. Here's my lame excuse for the reason that the pictures are not where I wanted them to be. I am tired, and am glad that they are up on the blog. Just imagine the editing/ illustration was done correctly. :)
