170: SPECIAL SURPRISE

It was an elaborate all day surprise party.

First we surprised birthday girl Rae at her house, then took her to Miranda's place where we had pasta and baked brie and ice cream (made with Rae's ice cream machine). Giosy happened to be on skype, so we had her up on the big screen tv as we ate our lunch. Very nice!



Then we blindfolded Rae to take her to the mystery dinner, which we booked with Swallow Tail, an underground supper club.



The secret location was revealed just a few days before the dinner, and it ended up being at a pretty plant store in Gastown. We had a six course meal, complete with a violinist in the background. It was such a special dinner. I would like to go to another Swallow Tail dinner again. The chef forages for her own mushrooms, catches her own crab, and hunts her own venison - amazing!

We had a three layer gelato cake from Bella Gelateria - strawberry, dulce de leche, and dark chocolate. Delicious.

We finished dinner at about midnight, and then off it was to Library Square for 80s night! Yes, I was pretty destroyed at work the next day...

  2. I've always wanted to be blindfolded and taken to a secret spot (only by a trustworthy person of course). Looks like you had a fun time & yummy cake! :)
