My friend Marcia's birthday is March 18th, the same as our son Patrick's, so she and I usually celebrate her birthday a few days before or after the 18th. This year we celebrated on the 22nd by having lunch at
Sitti followed by dessert at
Pie Bird.
 |
| Sweet potato hummus. A different twist on my favorite Lebanese appetizer. |
 |
Goat cheese and orange salad with mixed greens, dates, and walnuts tossed with a lemon vinaigrette. |
We tried the sweet potato hummus as an appetizer. and then shared an orange goat cheese salad. For our entree we shared Chicken Shawarma (Thinly sliced marinated chicken breast served with Sitti rice, grilled tomato,sumac onion, pickled wild cucumber and garlic whip.)

After this wonderful meal at Sitti we headed over to Pie Bird for dessert We sat outside at a sidewalk table and enjoyed the warm sun as well as our cream pies.
 |
| Marcia's coconut cream pie. |
 |
| Chocolate cream pie was my choice. |
It's nice to celebrate birthdays with a morning out with special friends.
