Birthday Dinner

There’s a reason we decided to stop in New York on the way to France rather than on the way home. My mother celebrated her 85th birthday today. We took the family out to dinner at Canale’s in Oswego. I figured everyone would be able to find something to eat there. My sister, nieces, and nephews were all in attendance. The youngest members had a good time. Julian had a pasta with pork ragú, while I ordered bucatini with sage and hazelnut pesto. My dish was interesting – I’d never thought of using sage as a pesto herb. Mom got plenty of loot from her descendants. A pleasant evening and plenty of food were had by all.
