It was my birthday in July and I celebrated it all month long 😀. The bookend to my special birthday month was an intimate dinner for two with my dear friend Radhika last weekend. A beautiful evening of heartfelt conversation and a delicious Mediterranean style Tuscan vegan dinner in her charming garden.
