For my b-day my husband, son, brother and I went to Julie's Cuban Restaurant; a really vibrant place.
It was my second time there. Food was as interesting and great-tasting as the first time. We forgot the camera but desert was a margarita cheese cake (that tasted just like condensed milk) topped with a sparkler.
I'm inspired learn about Cuban food. www.juliescuban.com/index.

I missed your birthday post, I'm sorry!!
Happy Birthday!
I hope you had a great time, the restaurant sounds interesting and I would definitely like to try margarita cheese cake.
Oops- I told you my life's been hectic these days...I even have my friend names mixed up...my wishes are sincere though:)
This reminds me that when I lived back east, every time I went to Toronto I ended up eating my way from one end of town to the other. I'm glad you had such a happy birthday.
Cuban food sounds like a winner to me. How was the beer?
1) I wish I had an older brother who knows a cool gift when he sees it (others, see H's previous poster-post);
2) Julie would be smug & happy to know the name of the resto if only she could really understand...for whatever reason, it pleases me no end;
3) Cuban food leads to dancing...so you've nearly a year to ready yourself for NYC Gatsby-do (not letting this idea go)
4) Off to hike the Appalachian Trail.
OK, no. But off to listen to hilarious Sat. a.m. NPR show which will surely alleviate various upsets by mocking others. I can't help it.
Again, felicitations my dear & hope you're all fluffed,floofed, & armed with books & mags & music for riding the bus.

PS: I have to type it--the verification jumble 'gypsyeti' -- hey, close enough to mean something to me.
Belated birthday wishes. May they all be as happy as this one was--and may there be many of them!
sounds like you had a great birthday between the picture and the food. love cuban food. used to get it all the time in ybor city in Tampa. the pie sounds a bit scetchy though. were you able to blow the sparkler out?
Happy Belated Birthday! That cheesecake sounds divine - if you'd taken a shot of it, I'd be piling on the pounds! Thanks for forgetting the camera.
Happy birthday, and let us know what you learn about Cuban food. My few experiences with that cuisine were so memorable. Some plantain chips with a garlic sauce that sent me over the edge. Oh, yum.
I hope you enjoyed your celebration.
my best meal when I was in NYC last year was cuban - a tiny family run-restaurant in Greenwich village. it was fantastic. thanks for the link!
Happy Birthday! Sounds like a nice time in just the right amount of company! I love "the few" to celebrate my birthday too....enjoy!
Sounds like a wondeful time! Margarita cheesecake? That sounds delicious too. (What? They couldn't find enough candles? I suppose wax and cheesecake don't really go together, do they?)

Happy Birthday Greetings to Miss Clever Pup from The Emerald Isle!!
OH MY GOODNESS! Happy Birthday (!) you Goddess you! I hope it was spectacular and I am sorry I am late in wishing you glad tidings! I hope you have a wonderful year! Let's hope for the best and even more than the best!!!
Happy Belated Birthday, Hazel! This restaurant looks so inviting. I love Cuban food and was just yesterday looking at a photo I took of a Cuban sandwich while on vacation last year. I was looking and wishing and drooling instead of eating. (Diet) All the best to you in your new year!
