Yesterday, November 4th, 2007, I turned the big 2-7.This weekend Brent took me shopping. We went to Ann Taylor, and Banana Republic, some of my favorite stores. We also went to Baluchi's, a great Indian restaurant, for lunch. I had Aloo Dum, a potato dish, and Brent had a lamb dish. It was so delicious! I highly recommend going there if you're ever in NYC.
Brent also purchased a New York cheesecake for me at my favorite pastry shop, Rocco's. We ate the cake on Sunday. It was glorious! Thick, creamy, and purely heaven. I couldn't have asked for a tastier treat.
We also went uptown to Times Square to see The Lion King. It was my first show on broadway, and I was very pleased. The puppetry was phenomenal. Some of the animals looked so real. I loved watching the giraffes, gazelles, elephants, hyenas, and leopard. The actors and actresses were so talented. The actor who played Mufasa had an exquisite bass voice. It was so clear and pure. The actress who played Rafiki had a strong, powerful voice. I enjoyed listening to her sing "He Lives in You". It was one of my favorite scenes. The use of puppets, and lighting were beautifully orchestrated beyond imagination. Everything was so perfect! I am so glad Brent took me to see the play.
It was a perfect birthday celebration.
