It's starting to become a tradition in the Yardley household to have my birthday dinner at Tuscany every year. You won't see me complaining! Har har har!
Well, I just turned the "dreaded 30" which typically is a pretty nightmarish year, but my 30th birthday was the best yet. From start to finish it was pretty spectacular, thanks to my sweet wife...

Anticipating a delicious meal ahead.
Starter: Chef's Bruschetta two ways- warm bruschetta with traditional red tomato and olive oil as well as squash with goat cheese. The best bruschetta on planet earth, as I like to call it. We also ordered salads, which were really great, but I didn't bother taking a picture of them.
Mel's Main: Chef's Choice Risotto- really really incredible. This was the star of the night. I've had good risotto, but this was the best.
Kasey's Main: Wood-Oven Roasted, Cured Double Center-Cut Pork Chop with Scallion Mashed Potatoes, Balsamic Roasted Red Onions, and Port Reduction Sauce- Long title. The chop is marinaded for hours, grilled to a pulp, finished in a wood-oven to roast, and perfectly tender and juicy in the middle. It's got a sweet crust that is so delicious. The best pork chop I've had.
Seriously, go to Tuscany, order this pork chop, and thank me later. Or thank me now in the comments below.
