the best meal, i've ever had

 

You just can't go wrong with a meal that includes...
::more courses than I can even count (highlights of which were a porcini flan with truffle oil, asparagus with cheese foam, cold strawberry soup, and upside down pear tart).
::laughs and laughs and laughs.
::a slideshow of photos of your mother since birth.
::family, and friends who are practically family because they've known you since before you were born. 
::a monumental birthday.

{and a little ilford 3200 black and white film for good measure}
