Happy Birthday to Me. :(

So it was my birthday on Sunday. It was pretty low-key. Just dinner plans with my brother and sister-in-law. But Trip and I were so looking forward, as we were going to Merit Vegetarian (which you would know from previous posts is my new favorite restaurant).

The day was all planned around this meal - we got up and had smoothies for breakfast, went and worked out, and then had a really light lunch - preparing our bellies for the massive feast.

So we get there, and as we're pulling up I notice that all the lights were out. My brother and sister-in-law had arrived before us, but both had left their cells at home, so were sitting waiting to tell us the bad news. Taped to the door was a hand-written sign, "We will be closed on Sunday, January 6th."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Of course we're STARVING at this point, so I try to think of something yummy in the area. And since we were in Sunnyvale, I thought Dish Dash would be a nice alternative. I used to go there all the time when I worked in Sunnyvale, and haven't been in over 4 months, so was actually looking forward to it as we were driving over there.

But as we pull up, I realized my birthday is doomed.

All the light were out. Closed on Sundays.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

By this time we're STARVING STARVING, and we see that Thai Basil is open, so we go there. Which actually turned out quite nice, but definitely no Dish Dash. And nowhere close to Merit.

Is this a sign of what's to come this year???
