On Tuesday night I spent a fun evening with Lina, Lola and Sally, all of whom had birthdays within a few days of one another. I was honoured to be included even though I wasn’t a birthday girl.

We went to Lina’s favourite restaurant, Puerta Del Inca, a lovely Peruvian restaurant we used to go to after the Wednesday milonga before it moved to a location too far away. Peruvian food is great for people who like seafood, and I have to say when I see these amazing platters they have I wish I did like it!

We didn’t ask for a cake, but they brought out this lovely piece of tres leches (three milks) cake, which was moist and delicious and finished the meal off beautifully. I do like birthdays!
