41

For my 41st birthday Elaine treated me to an amazing dinner at minibar by José Andrés.  As a fan of molecular gastronomy, I couldn't have asked for a luxuriant feast for all the senses.  Hard to pick a favorite dish from the night, but I might have to go with the Mussel Shells.  They looked just like you would expect, but through the magic of liquid nitrogen you eat the shells and they melt in your mouth with all the flavor of an amazing moules marinières broth. Delicious!
