Happy Birthday Ryan!

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband, Ryan!

I am so excited that the sun is shining today and it is beautiful outside.

Last night we went out to dinner as a kickoff to his birthday weekend.  Of course when I asked what he wanted, it was all about the steak house.  You can imagine how often he gets served steak at home.

So we went to Marcelino’s in Angra, where they prepare the steak tableside.

Bread and little toasts to start.

 

Cheese, of course.

Here the server is getting ready to make Ryan’s steak.  They have a menu of 10 or so steaks to choose from, and Ryan ordered the steak au poivre (not sure on spelling), AKA pepper steak.

It came with rice, potatoes and I think onions.

Here is his steak.  He was very happy with this.

I ordered, no, not a steak, but the abrotea fillets.  I like this even though it is fried.  It is no where near anything fried in the States.  It is very light, and I like that it comes with 2 pieces because it reheats well in the oven and I know I will have a nice lunch the next day.

Well, I am going to keep it short so I can go enjoy this special day with Ryan.
