The weekend before my birthday L took me out to all you can eat sushi at our favorite hole in the wall sushi place in Rochester. I filled up on plenty of spicy tuna and we shared sake.

Afterwards we went to the Field and Stream by the mall and L bought me my first pair of Chacos. (He has been trying to get me a pair for a couple of years now).

We then headed over to the movie theater to see Jurassic World, which was surprisingly good. Who doesn’t like a dinosaur action movie with awesome John Williams music?

Realizing the time after the movie we rushed over to our favorite yogurt shop just before they closed. We felt bad making her turn the machines on again which meant a soupy dessert and a few bug bites from eating it outside. Still it was a great birthday date.

Other than this,  I decided to make myself a few b-day treats.

I made lemon cream scones for breakfasts which went perfect with goat cheese and strawberry rhubarb jelly.

I also made shortcake with orange liquor macerated strawberries and homemade whipped cream.
