Giovanna McCarthy’s Birthday

My friend Giovanna has reached the magic age.

She now qualifies for the senior discount at the Belfast Coop.

Monumental!!

We celebrated with tea at Fromviandoux, a wonderful restaurant in Camden, Maine.

Here’s Giovanna taking a picture of the awesome plate of sweets that finished our tea.

They asked if there was a celebration when I called for reservations–which is a nice thing to do as it helps them plan.

Fromviandoux’s tea selections also include savory platters–cheeses and pate’s for instance.  Also available are many small lunch dishes for those who want something more substantial.  They do a really good job of dealing with my gluten issue.  Everything on this platter is gluten free, for instance.  And they are really good about mixing up crackers and breads with gluten and non-gluten selections so everyone is happy.

Tea is served from Wednesday to Saturday after 2 p.m.  Sunday is a day where many dishes are also served.
