Overall - Above satisfactory

Today (or yesterday rather) was Ivy's 23rd birthday. Amazing how fast we're aging... We went to Buenos Aires Grill to celebrate. Ivy always does love her red meat. They serve a mixed grill plate which is basically all you can eat meat. And it's a lot of meat... The best was the skirt steak, but now I'm suffering. I can't eat that much meat. The food great, the service lacking. It's very laid back and you really have to flag down people to get them to bring you stuff. I suppose it's supposed to be relaxing, but it's a bit stressful when you're hungry.
So after about 2 1/2 hrs of eating in a restaurant that was way too warm with inattentive service... we came back to our townhouse & had cake. I made a two layer chocolate cake w/ chocolate frosting. I attempted decorator's icing in the afternoon, but when I halved the recipe and failed to halve the water... well let's just say I wasn't about to use the icing. So all in all the dinner went well, a kind of quiet occasion to celebrate a birthday.
