A Score of MariBug


happy happy birthday Mari Bug Dear...
happy days will come to YOU all year...
if I had a wish then it would be...
A happy happy birthday to you from the B's!

Our lovely niece Maribug turned 20 (WTH!!) last month and we celebrated by ordering and eating "family style" (fancy way of saying base price, choose two salads, two appetizers, four entrees and two desserts and they'll keep bringing them!) from Maggiano's at the South Coast Plaza. In general, I avoid OC Shopping centers but this food was far too good to miss.

Even HeaBug got down with some spinach artichoke dip... we were happy to get together, have a good time, laugh, talk, celebrate and leave with full tummies (i'm a mom, I say tummy, get over it). Because I can't get enough of food... here's our yummadocious menu:
Spinach and Artichoke al Forno, Bruschetta
Spinach Salad and Maggiano's chopped salad (think blue cheese, prosciutto, nuts)
Tomato Vodka Gnocchi, Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken and Spinach Manicotti and Chicken Marsala
Creme Brulee and Toasted pound cake with banana and caramel sauce a la mode.

This description does not do it justice and I'm tempted to describe in detail since that's how they do it on Top Chef but I'll refrain.

Happy Birthday to a wonderful and beautiful niece. We love you and watching you grow to the woman you are today. We will love and stand by you you're whole life (cuz our ohana is that kind of awesome). Hau'oli La Hanau Kehau!
