Since we had been attending parties on both Saturday and Sunday nights, Carolyn and I hadn't had the opportunity to go out and celebrate her 12/05 birthday by ourselves.
Well, we were both so tired on Monday that we just stayed home, but we managed to go out last night. We went to BJ's Pizza which is in the former Gordon Biersch facility by the Laguna Hills Mall. Carolyn had been there for a lunch with some of the ladies from Community Bible Study within the last month so we tried it out for dinner.
They have opened up the interior which makes it feel a lot larger than Gordon's and they still serve micro-brews along with pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, steaks and 'comfort food' like meatloaf or pot roast. I chose this huge frisco type burger with cheese and bacon while Carolyn, longing for the UK, had fish and chips. Both were delicious and well complimented with our medium dark brews.
Then, because I'd mentioned the birthday, our waiter brought us this heavenly dessert of warm chocolate, macadamia nut cookie covered with vanilla ice cream! It reminded us of Ashley's birthday 'cake' at age 8 in Crested Butte which was a large decorated cookie.
Certainly not on anyone's diet, but we came home full (maybe a little too full) and Carolyn's birthday had once again been extended for a few days. If she had her way, it would be a full week!
