Happy birthday Jason!!

It was his choice for dinner tonight--but low-key as we're heading on a quick jaunt to Chicago so he can eat his favorite foods this weekend--and he opted for sushi from our favorite, around the corner. When I placed the order the owner said "say hi to Jason" (our relationship with that restaurant is ... deep and meaningful) so I replied "oh I will! it's his birthday!" and our buddy said "oh! happy birthday! I will send him hot sake to celebrate!"

Love that place. And love this guy!

I love how my neighborhood is unapologetically old.

Jason's birthday is Tuesday so we all went out to Resto (thanks to JulieFrick for originally introducing us to it!) to celebrate!

It was nice to get out of the house for the first time in five days to be social, even if I couldn't taste dinner at all.

I found this restaurant when researching nice places in Phoenix and immediately fell in love: the experience there completely lived up to my expectations, too! We had many courses, all delicious. This was the cheese starter they put together for us.

It's in the middle of nowhere on a practically country road. The place is so darling you could die.
