You're like the luckiest person alive being offered by that birthday treat from Alio!<br /><br />Just by merely looking at the potato and celeriac soup, pan fried salami and caramelised lemon tart among others, I absolutely think you had a fabulous birthday. It doesn't matter if it's quiet as long as you're having the 10 course meal, lol.Alison Woodhttp://www.mybirthdayvenue.com/functions/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938389089879261712.post-57773068645929927562011-08-09T19:21:52.122+10:002011-08-09T19:21:52.122+10:00Hi lateraleating - Yeah, it wasn't quite what ...Hi lateraleating - Yeah, it wasn't quite what I expected either.<br /><br />Hi Joseph - It sure is (I forgot to mention).
