Last Sunday was my birthday, so Jon and I spent the weekend celebrating.
Saturday night we started off the festivities by going to Stoneground for dinner. Their food is fabulous and we always end up eating way too much, but it is always worth it. We ended the meal with their fabulous tiramisu.

Sunday was a relaxing day. We had brunch and went to go see a matinee of Alice in Wonderland.
Monday we both took the day off. We ran a bunch of errands just spent the day enjoying the great weather. We went to lunch at Tony Caputos.
While there we picked up a few things from their store and got a lesson in fancy cheeses.
Once of the cheeses we picked up was this 4 year gouda. It's great.
We also got this insane cheese called Testun Folglie di Castagno. It's super sharp and we were told that it has to be made just right in order for it to turn out. Also the cheese is wrapped in chestnut leaves, which gives the cheese three layers of flavor. The stuff is insane! A little piece is all that you need.
All in all the weekend was wonderful and a much needed break from the craziness that has been life lately.

Stoneground is the best. I love that place. Also, cheese is what makes the world go round. :) Happy Birthday!
I have this vague recollection of having called you on your birthday, but I know I haven't talked to you in the past week. Did I space things off and wish you happy birthday at the wrong time?? Or did I just not wish you happy birthday at all?? What a lame-o I am. It sounds like you had a great day/weekend. We love you!!
