A Birthday is celebrated.

Whilst at Kalbarri we celebrated Johns birthday.  Short story.....John always says he 'doesn't like sweet stuff'....Ha!!!!

After dinner, drooling.... John would say.......'how about some profiteroles, with some yummy warm chocolate sauce', 

or 

'some lovely sticky date pudding would go down well right now'...

John has been talking about the profiteroles on and off for most of the trip.  So, we needed to find some for his birthday.

On the pretext of doing "girls stuff"  (read: shopping, in downtown Kalbarri....you have got to be kidding), Deb and I went on our secret mission to find a good restaurant with some nice deserts.

We checked them all out and were debating between two of them, when the decision became easier after the owner of a cafe confessed to "The Edge" being the best restaurant in town.  So, sitting in the car, Deb rang and made a booking.  She then asked whether the Chef would consider making profiteroles and explained about it being a celebration for Johns birthday. They said she would ask the Chef and call us back....we waited with bated breath, and the answer was......

Oh, Yes!

Deb and I knew what was coming so we had small meals.  John and Nick had pork belly....which came with three pieces of pork on a plate the same size of the desert one in the photo.  It was a huge meal, but we couldn't say anything without giving the game away.

The Chef did a marvellous job and the profiteroles were delicious.  As full as we were,  we had to eat the profiteroles didn't we, what was more, it came with a service of hazelnut ice cream....I can tell you ~ no one had breakfast the next morning.

John would not allow us to sing to him in the restaurant, saying that he would leave if we started.  Nick and I had already embarrassed John by singing 'happy birthday' to him first thing in the morning, loud enough so the whole caravan park could hear.

Happy Birthday John!
