The first family birthday of the year! Joe/Frank turned 16 and the three of us decided to venture out for an impromptu quick bite. We’re having family festivities on Saturday, but really, you can never have too many birthday celebrations.

Unfortunately in the flurry of impromptu-ness and leaving the haus, I completely forgot to shove my camera in my bag. Luckily, I did have my iphone with me, but was so caught up in the conversation, that I twice forgot to take a photo until dishes were half eaten, so please do bear with the improvisation (and the quite dreadful light)!

Vietnamese pancake, Sizzling Beef and Duck curry from Saigon Saigon, Glebe.

Afterward we had a very small cake to mark the occasion. Bigger cake will, of course, follow on Saturday.

Interim birthday cake from David Jones. The candles represent the number of blue candles I could find the candle stash.
