Birthday Week

Hey guys,

Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes they meant a lot.  To celebrate my birthday I went out with my friends to downtown Disney to The House of Blues and wouldn't you know we picked an awesome night!!!!
The theme was techno and the dj was magic mike, he only comes to hob 3 times a year and he was spectacular. Literally this guys puts on a show with the lights, videos, and the music.  We had a blast.

Today, I am going out with my roomates to Epcot to celebrate the 4th of July and see some fireworks maybe lay around the pool and soak up every ounce of sun that I can before I have to work the rest of the week =( Mais c'est la vie.

We had a wine tasting at work the other day and it was very educational.  We paired scallops with a chardonnay, Jamaican jerk chicken with mango chutney with Cabernet Sauvignon, and A sparkling red with flourless chocolate cake and raspberry coulis.  It was delicious.  the chardonnay really brought out the sweetness in the scallops, and the spiciness and the fruit in the cab became more pronounced with the chicken, the sparkling red was fruity, sweet, and light.  Which balanced out the denseness of the thick chocolate cake.  Next we changed which wines were paired with the food and as the wines were paired with a new item the flavor profiles changed.  The white made the spices on the chicken less forceful and the dish became pleasantly mellow.  All and all it was extremely educational and a lot of fun.  All the ladies at work are now planning a wine party where each person brings a dish and a bottle =)

Alright off to the park,
peace,
Ally
