A little slice of Slice

Husband wasn't able to book a table at Slice for my birthday so we went last night. A superb meal as always. I say that as if we go there every week instead of once a year.

Husband had the scallops and I had the artichoke (both included in photo) and the first image is the amuse bouche, a poussin leg and chestnut rissole on a cranberry sauce. All servings are very small of course leaving you filled but not overly full.

You can see here how Slice gets its name. It's a small restaurant seating sixteen at most.

This morning I popped into Zac's to do some clothes sorting prior to a big clear-out next week. I was very ruthless! After spending several hours sorting jeans I would earnestly beg all manufacturers to put the size clearly on the waistband, not to hide it here, there or halfway down a trouser-leg.

You have to wonder though at some of the items we get donated. I'm pretty sure these are gun holsters.

And because I thought I would be walking around town today I put my jeans on for the first time this autumn. Correction, I squeezed and pushed until I got my jeans done up. Must stop eating so much. (She says after showing you the seven- course meal she most recently devoured.)

Sometimes, when jeans are newly washed, it's vital to lie down to zip up. Or so I'm told.
That's a wonderful birthday meal.

What a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday. I think there will be a lot if tight pants after Thanksgiving here.

I'm with you on the jean sizes! I was looking for a new pair in a thrift store and it was very annoying to have to search the information out.

Very nice birthday meal! I take it the servers didn't sing "Happy Birthday" to you?
My jeans today are actually jeggings. Wonderful invention.

I had to look up what "poussin" meant! I don't think anyone would put on weight eating poussin.

A donation of gun holsters? Unusual indeed!

Looks like a delicious birthday meal.

Perhaps the best restaurant in our town is small. I felt like if I asked for the salt too loudly that the person in the next table might hand it to me. I haven't been back, for I require at least a little elbow room. 😎
