Happy Birthday, Vana and Joe!

Vana and Joe both have birthdays next week, so the family gathered at Purple Chopstix to celebrate! This was my coworker Anthony's last week at work, and he made us all homemade mead as a farewell present. I brought it to the restaurant to share the wealth. This is my "MEAD!" face.



Tom Yum. Hello, old friend.



Sweet potato peanut pasta with tofu! YUM!



Cheryl made a Yin Yang birthday cake!



Vana and Joe, cutting the birthday cake like lovers do.






Cheryl hadn't made a layer cake in years but it must be like riding a bicycle because BOY was this cake delicious!! Happy birthday, Vana and Joe!
