I was out with eight friends yesterday for lunch, celebrating my birthday two weeks early. There's a little artisan cafe near me, which also doubles as a florist and we often meet there to celebrate someone's birthday. I met most of the girls when Kay was a toddler and we used the same kindergarten. We only meet about six times a year when it is close to one or two of us having birthdays. I call the group The Birthday Girls when I note the date in my diary. My birthday is towards the end of November, so it often doubles up as an excuse for us to exchange Christmas cards. I therefore have already received the first eight of my Christmas cards for this year, together with my birthday cards.
There's one thing on the menu I love having when I am there and always order it each time - crispy bacon, brie and cranberry toasted sandwich. Yesterday the girls were laughing that yet again I had ordered it. The melted brie just drips down the side of the toast and the crunchy bacon and sweet cranberry just completes the delight. There are so many other yummy things to choose from including some amazing gooey gateaux, which I also order as a dessert. What is your favourite when you eat out?

If I was just having a light snack thing and not a full meal, I might well go for a cheese and tomato toastie. However, I have also enjoyed bacon, brie and cranberry sandwiches. I think it is weird that "Brie" can now be a girl's name. It's like calling your child "Sausage" or "Blue Stilton".
I love having appetizers to share with others since I get easily bored by eating one item. Your meal sounds delicious; I would definitely order that!
