I was a Hibachi grill virgin

My buddy, Alicia, had a birthday last Monday. And apparently their schedules were pretty busy because they couldn't celebrate until this past weekend.

I got an email from her that said that they were all going out to Tomo for her birthday & she'd love (yes, she said L-O-V-E) for us to come! Ummm, well - uh, I couldn't respond right away because I didn't know if I would eat anything on the menu! I'm not a seafood person - at all! So I did some investigation & found out that it was a Hibachi grill & it was really fun & that they served dead cow & dead chicken so I was set (I was worried it was raw, dead fish!) So I emailed her back (& yes - I told her all that above - have you MET me?!) & said we'd L-O-V-E to come!

The birthday girl doing what she does best - talk! (No shame in her game! - I'm the SAME way!) Me & B-rad

The fire was SO cool!
Alicia has SO many people that love her that we had to sit around 2, count 'em 2, hibachi grills. Our guy didn't do as many tricks as their guy - but hey - she's the birthday girl - she deserved the tricks!

A mountain of rice with the biggest slab of butter I've ever seen!

Daniel sold me out & told them I had never been there before so they let me (attempt) to throw eggs in his hat. I think he had a crush on Meredith 'cuz he let her throw one too. We both missed!

He dropped his jar of eggs on the floor beside me! He made a bigger mess than we did!

Alicia's guy gave her a plate full of egg shells for her dinner!

And my guy asked if I was the birthday girls sister. I said, "No, but do we look alike?!" He said, "Oh yea!" I said, "I'll take that as a compliment!" Then he called me 'pretty girl' the rest of the night! O, be still my heart...

This is the whole crew. Now ya see why we had to have 2 grills?!

Thanks for inviting us & letting us share in your birthday celebration! We had a lot of fun & the food was wonderful!!!
