Birthday Dinner at Fat Cat

I was really spoiled this weekend by all of my friends and family. The cap of "birthday week" was a meal with my family at Fat Cat on Roncesvalles, a great small plates/ tapas place. They have a really lovely back patio and it was a perfect night for it.

We simply decided which things we didn't want to have (three things) and had them come as they were ready. Everything was quite good, in particular the shrimp dish which we ordered two of, and got extra bread to dip in the sauce.

For dessert i had an almond brownie - which was lovely, with whipped cream and cherries. (yum). The rest of the table had a rhubarb and strawberry couli with vanilla ice cream.
