Scenes from the Birthday Dinner

Ben and his great friend Raymond share the same birthday and since yesterday was the big 60th, we celebrated with a special dinner at Frasca, one of the highest rated restaurants in the Boulder/Denver area.  We've eaten there before on special occasions but this time we reserved the "Chef's Table" in the kitchen so we could watch all the action in the "back of the house" throughout the evening.  Dining with Raymond in a place like Frasca is a special pleasure since he not only knows a great deal about food and wine, but knows most of the staff.   It was a lot of fun.
