2: Two birthdays in one

Lunch with Margaret Maddox whose birthday is on the 10th. We celebrate together each year. Highly recommended: Small Plates. We ate pear and bleu cheese pizza, beet root salad, and gratineed mushrooms. Pumpkin-pecan cheesecake (natch!) for dessert.

Also recommended: Hot waiter with square diamond earrings and loads of charisma!
