Fun Birthday, Great Restaurant

So yesterday started my 50th year - with my 49th birthday.  All in all it was a fun day and I had a pre-planned dinner with some old friends that I worked with 20 years ago!!!  I am not sure we had all four been together in 20 years so it was a lot of fun getting caught up and remembering.  Therefore...the family was on its own for dinner (thank you Stouffer's for providing the meal in my absence).

I do want to give credit to a great restaurant chain, Season's 52.  I know there are a couple of locations in Atlanta and I think in Florida as well...it is based upon the fresh concept and their menu changes weekly.  It is also (in my mind) the absolutely correct portion size.   The meals arrive sized somewhere between dinner at a spa (too small for my taste) and one of those places where you eat on your meal for 4 days.  Also, if  I remember correctly (and don't quote me) all of the entrees  are under 500 calories.  The desserts are presented in a shot glass and you get about 3-4 bites of an amazing dessert without killing your waistline.  You can have a gourmet meal and leave the restaurant with your belt still in its rightful place.  It is really a great concept and while this is not intended to be a restaurant review blog....its worth your time and money to visit Seasons 52 if you have one close by.  Oh, and they have over 60 wines by the glass as well...just in case you are so inclined.

Tonight we have tickets to the Braves game...so our family meal will probably be hot dogs (MAJOR difference from last night)...but we will be eating together!  I think next week should be back to a more normal routine.
