Maurene and I went to the Pump Room for lunch today to celebrate my birthday. The Pump Room is a rather posh restaurant which I usually only visit to get a glass of free water. We had a nice lunch and the pianist played 'Happy Birthday' when they brought my dessert (complete with candle).

You should borrow hair for both of us from the dude sitting over Maurene's right shoulder.

Happy Birthday! I like the picture of you with your soup.

Rocket is ranch, right? Tomato soup with ranch!? Blechh, I'd stick with birthday cake and ice cream. Hope you had a good birthday! Worked 10 hours here...that was a good day too. I'm the only one in the next two days!!

We couldn't figure out the guy with the hair either. It looked like a Cricket jacket but Maurene surmised that he was an entertainer.
No, Abby. Rocket isn't ranch. It is a green herb of some sort. You and Andrew had it on your pizza from M&S when you were here.

Happy (belated) Birthday! I thought of one of your old aliases: "Rocket eats soup with rocket." By the way, Grif has been known to apply ranch dressing to his pizza. Some things are hard to figure.

Ahhh, that makes more sense. I knew we had tried it, but I was thinking it was that veggie dip. If you find out what herb it is let me know...I'm curious.
