| Italian Food at Carisma |
My sister's and my birthday weekend was certainly a fun one. We both took Thursday and Friday off to indulge a little bit, beginning with an excessively sumptuous lunch at
Carisma (73 King St E) for Diana's birthday. We each ordered a glass of house wine to accompany our meal of
Insalata di Cesare,
Burrata cheese,
Casarecci,
Ravioli, and dessert. We then whiled away the remainder of the afternoon in Yorkville and at Harbourfront, the latter boasting beautiful views of the lake.

| Mexican Food at El Catrin |
We made our way to the Distillery District after our meanderings for dinner with the folks at
El Catrin (18 Tank House Ln). We ordered a slew of dishes to share between us, which included
guacamole en la mesa,
chiccharones el catrin,
cochinito ahumado, and
tacos gobernadores. Of course, a celebration would not be complete without a pitcher of mango margarita. It was undoubtedly a "happy" evening...

| Appetizers |
We celebrated my birthday at the new
Cluny Bistro and Boulangerie (35 Tank House Ln) the following evening. We dined on fresh PEI oysters, Cluny's crisp dinosaur kale & queen kale salad, and
papillion noir roquefort, each dish being both decadent and divine.

| The Mains |
Our appetizers were followed by equally delicious mains: the 10 oz striploin (not pictured),
the 6 oz filet mignon, the Cluny double bacon cheese burger, and the Qualicom Bay scallops. The portions were enormous, especially in the case of the cheese burger but we certainly did not think they were an issue.

| Desserts |
Last but not the least, we had dessert! Apart from the profiteroles we were surprised with, we also had macaron ice cream sandwiches to share between us. Not a bad way to celebrate getting older! Cheers.
