HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHY
to the oldest of the three of us!!
We sisters always get together for our birthdays by going out for lunch. This month happens to be Cathy's birthday and she picked the Black Bear Bistro in Warrenton, Virginia. Old Town Warrenton is a quaint little town with lots of charm.
Upon entering the Black Bear Bistro we noticed right away they had a terrace we could eat our lunch on this beautiful fall day. The waitress told us we could chose anywhere we would like to sit and of course, in SSS fashion we sat down, ordered our drinks and then decided to change tables. Our waitress was gracious and said, "by all means sit where you are most comfortable". At this point during the lunch hour, there weren't many people dining, so we had our pick of tables.
We girls decided, after looking at the menu and hearing the special of the day which was a personal pan brick oven pizza with side salad, that we would pick from their brick oven pizzas. Cathy chose the
ALOHA with brick sauce, shredded mozzarella, pineapple and bacon. Rhonda chose the
PAISANO with roasted garlic cream sauce, spinach, shredded mozzarella and sautéed onions. I (Kelly) chose the
VERDURA with rosemary oil, minced garlic, feta, artichokes, spinach, mushroom, red onion, and basil vinaigrette.
Would you like to hear what we thought about The Black Bear Bistro?? This is our first video so be kind ;)
The BBB also treated Cathy to a dessert of her choice and she chose the Chocolate Cheesecake with Chocolate sauce, Whipped Cream and cherries. Lots of cherries because who can share one cherry??? Not us ;)
If you live in the area, we recommend trying them out if you haven't already. Here's their website

Take a look at the photos we took during our visit to the Black Bear Bistro.
Old Town Warrenton has a Lamp Post contest going on this month. This is one of the lamp posts and I believe Rhonda and Cathy were having too much fun and scared the stuffing out of this straw man!!
Take a stroll downtown Warrenton sometime. It's absolutely beautiful this time of year.

All in all, it was a good day with great food, awesome company and hopefully many more birthdays to celebrate with my sisters.
Until next time friends!!
