This weekend we're going to The Herbfarm for a super-fancy multi-course dinner. This is for a delayed joint celebration of the Stroppy One's 60th birthday (!!!) and Princess Tickybox's (the eldest godkid) 21st birthday (!!!). I love love love The Herbfarm, and 100% believe it's an experience worth having. I recognize that we're super-privileged to have gone as many times as we have; if you told me in my younger years (including up to my 30s) that I'd go for an insanely fancy & expensive meal not just once, but multiple times, I wouldn't have believed you.
Related to going to The Herbfarm: I rewatched The Menu, because while The Herbfarm isn't as pretentious as the restaurant in the movie, it's similar. (Plus The Menu has become one of my favorite black comedies.)
Also related to going to The Herbfarm: I found this tutorial to turn a necktie into a fancy jabot, and now my replica Hannibal "murder tie" is in a form I will wear more often. However, I didn't use a glue gun, but carefully stitched the layers. Because wearing that tie to The Herbfarm is *funny*, dammit.
