My Friend's 70th Birthday
| Yesterday we celebrated the 70th birthday of my friend Irina (she is on the left in the photo, in a beautiful white blouse with polka dots) ... Oh, how incredibly fast time flies! We have known each other and have been friends for a very long time, practically since my arrival in Estonia after graduating from university, and usually we celebrate our birthdays together. I want to add that the lady sitting on the right, Ljudmila, will be 75 next month, can you believe? They both, Irina and Ljudmila, make me feel very optimistic about my near future, at least 5 years ahead! | 🎁 | Вчера мы отмечали 70-летие моей подруги Ирины (она на фото слева, в красивой белой блузке в горошек)... Да, как невероятно быстро летит время! Знакомы и дружим мы уже очень давно, практически, с момента моего приезда в Эстонию после окончания университета, и обычно наши дни рождения празднуем вместе. Да, ещё хочу добавить, дама справа от меня, Людмила, будет праздновать своё 75-летие в следующем месяце, трудно поверить, неправда ли? Они обе, Ирина и Людмила, придают мне оптимизма, по крайней мере на ближайшие пять лет! |

| She gathered us at Cafe de Paris, where we celebrated my 65th birthday last year. The atmosphere here was calm, the music was pleasant, and the most important thing - the food was extremally tasty. What I also like that the tables are separated from each other by portable screens, which gives a sense of privacy. | 🎈 | Собрала она нас в Cafe de Paris, где в прошлом году мы отмечали моё 65-летие. Обстановка здесь спокойная, музыка приятная, да и кормят, что важно, очень вкусно. Еще мне нравится, что столики отделены друг от друга переносными ширмами, что дает ощущение уединенности. |
|---|---|---|
| Behind one of the screens, a small company had a wedding party, and so we had to wait for the first dishes we ordered - hot cheese balls of 5 types of cheese. That is why, when they brought us the appetizer, we ate it very quickly and I did not have a chance to take a photo. | 🍸 | За одной из ширм небольшая компания праздновала свадьбу и нам пришлось ждать выполнения нашего первого заказа - горячих сырных шариков из 5 видов сыров. Поэтому, когда нам их принесли эту закуску, мы очень быстро их съели и я не успела сделать фото. |
|---|---|---|
| We had to wait again, but it was not difficult to do in such a good company. We congratulated Irina in turn, gave her the gifts, and talked with glasses of good white wine. | 🍸 | Пришлось ждать еще, но в хорошей компании это было нетрудно. Мы по очереди поздравили Ирину, вручили подарки, и беседовали за бокалом хорошего белого вина. |
| We looked through the menu and made an order. | 📗 | Мы изучили меню и сделали заказ. |
|---|---|---|
| The cafe had a good selection of salads. All my friends ordered the same - the "Onegin" salad consisting of fried peach, duck fillet, ice lettuce, Parmesan cheese and sauce. | 🥗 | В кафе был хороший выбор салатов. Мои подруги дружно заказали салат "Онегин" - обжаренный персик, филе утки, ледяной салат, сыр пармезан и соус. |
|---|---|---|
| I decided to choose something different. It was the salad with beef tongue, Korean style carrots, lettuce, green peas, orange and grapes. | 🥗 | Я же решила выбрать другое - салат с говяжим языком, морковью по-корейски, зеленым салатом, зеленым горошком, кусочками апельсина и винограда. |
|---|---|---|
 |  |
| For the main course, we all made the same choiсe - the specialty of the place - "Cafe de Paris". In its composition: beef, Dijon mustard, mushrooms and bacon, All this was baked in puff pastry and served with béchamel sauce. When the dish was brought, none of us was disappointed with either its appearance or taste. | 🥘 | В качестве основного блюда все выбрали одно и то же - фирменное блюдо "Cafe de Paris". В его составе: говядина, дижонская горчица, шампиньоны и бекон, Всё это запечено в слоёном тесте и подаётся под соусом бешамель. Когда блюдо принесли, никто из нас не был разочарован ни его внешним видом, ни вкусом. |

 |  |
| We were enjoying the time in a good company with the food which was delicious. What about the portions, they were too large for me and Irina, so we asked to pack take-away for us. | 🙂 | Настроение у всех было хорошее, еда вкусная. Правда, для нас с Ириной порции оказались слишком большими, поэтому мы попросили упаковать их нам, чтобы взять домой. |
|---|---|---|
| Although we were full, no one could resist the coffee and dessert. | ☕️ 🎂 | Хотя все были сыты, но отказать себе в кофе и десерте не смог никто. |
|---|---|---|
| Here our tastes were different. Two of us ordered a dessert with ice cream and fried bananas in syrup. | 🍦 | Здесь вкусы разделились. Двое из нас заказали десерт с мороженым и жареными бананами в сиропе. |
|---|---|---|
 |  |
| The three guests including myself, opted for a cheesecake with a coffee latte. It was a worthy end to a wonderful feast | 🍰 | Трое гостей, включая меня, выбрали чиз-кейк с кофе латте. Это было достойным завершением чудесного застолья. |

| Next day at home. My lunch. | 😁 | На следующий день дома. Мой обед. |

Yes, that was a busy week... Thanks @hivebuzz!
You're welcome @olgavita 😊👍
sounds like a wonderful meeting for celebration ! I'm sure you had a marvelous time (and diner !) together ^_^
Yes, we had a nice time, for sure. The date was very special for my friend, and I am happy she is fit and healthy. She still works, and when she takes a day off, her colleagues usually call her to ask for her advice or some information. She always has an answer "in her pocket" :-)
