Lunch with flying knives

While Dad was still in the dark about his birthday trip to Seattle, he requested birthday dinner at Benihana. Instead, we ate on the train home from the Mariners game... good, but not exactly Benihana.

So we went to lunch at the Japanese restaurant instead.
I don't like ginger... except for the salad dressing at Benihana - yum!
Sergio put on a good show while cooking our meal:
Shrimp and fried rice for me:
Then came Dad's birthday sundae:
He enjoyed it very much :)
But we laughed and laughed when his spoon came with something huge stuck to the back.
He ALWAYS gets the crusty silverware, glasses, plates, etc. when we eat out. In fact, if someone else gets a dirty utensil, we always say, "Look, I got Dad's knife!"

Happy Birthday, Dad!! :)
