friday night, we all headed to art on the rocks - a summer event at the birmy museum of art with live music, food, drinks, & art! the weather was actually beautiful on this summer evening, so we enjoyed the celebration with our friends outside on the patio. loved it.
{happy birthday, byrds!}
{alpha & omega}
{the newly engaged elyse & matt.
congratulations to you!}
afterwards, we had to take our friends to our favorite rooftop patio, above, to see downtown lit up. they loved it too!
{well, hello, wind-blown hair}
on saturday night, amy & ogden joined us for an amazing dinner at satterfield's restaurant in cahaba. this modern american + seafood restaurant is one of birmy's best restaurants.
i had the awesome opportunity of working with satterfield's executive chef, haller magee, at one of the guest chef dinner's at the tutwiler hotel through school. {apparently, i never told you about it, except for a quick mention at the bottom of [this] post.} this guy is great - young & creative & full of energy.
at the restaurant, the kitchen is open for all to see the chefs working their magic. chef haller saw me in the dining room & actually remembered me! i must say it was one of the more rewarding parts of my short pastry chef career thus far. he asked how our dishes were from across the dining room, came over to our table later in our {2.5 hour long...yes!} meal to see how everything was & introduce himself to everyone, & sent us a dessert for blakey's birthday. awesome guy. awesome experience.
we will absolutely be back. i am still thinking about my delicious wahoo fish & blakey's super interesting & delicious pork & amy's oh so tender duck.
so happy 4 fun-filled day birthday to my wonderful & amazing husband!!
i hope your weekend was excellent too.
love love,
kjp.
