Day 4.178: Vietnamese, Beginners

We ended our date-night for Exile #2's birthday eating wonderful Vietnamese food at My Linh. It was our first experience with this cuisine and we didn't really have a clue what to order, but having taken some advice on what was gluten-free (for the birthday girl) we settled on stuffed chicken wings, noodles with seafood, duck (non GF) and some flourless chocolate torte to end. Wonderful and over-indulgent - I don't think I'll need to eat for the rest of the week and that's even though I didn't have a piece of birthday cake that I bought at Sherry Lynn's and left with instructions for Exile #3 to get it out at lunchtime (and snap a photo).

Before that we went to see Beginners.  We met a friend there and had a wonderful time.  The film is magical and moving and beautiful - pretty much perfect (with the possible exception of Ewan McGregor's inconsistent accent).  We loved it.
