Delicious Food

Thank you everyone for your happy birthday's both on and off my blog! I had a great birthday! My wonderful fantastic hubby decided this year to wait on me hand and foot! I had no complaints about that. He made me a delightful birthday dinner of baked gold potato's, a very green salad and a juicy mouthwatering steak. It was, by far the best steak he had ever made. He had recently read an article about making a cheaper steak taste like a pricey steak. We were both pretty shocked as they turned out tasting like something you would get at a really good steak restaurant!

Michael Getting Dinner Ready

Our Yummy Food, Wine and Port

Then, there was the b-day cake!! OMG, the birthday cake. I mentioned yesterday that Michael asked me to pick any recipe and he would make me the cake. Might I add, this cake was to be from scratch.... I finally picked a chocolate almond torte. We unfortunately didn't have any circular trays as the recipe called for, so Michael had to improvise. He insists it is the ugliest cake ever made... I think its cute, but my goodness, it tasted better then my taste buds could have even imagined!!

YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Me at 28!
edited to add: I am putting a piece of goats cheese on a cracker!

Michael is in the air right now probably somewhere over my wonderful and beautiful Russia on his way to Japan. He was very much not looking forward to this quick trip as he senses he will be nothing but tired, tired and more tired for the 3 days he is on the ground before he heads back up here...to be jet lagged some more. Poor guy! :) Now, I am left with the task of finishing the rest of that cake.... and I am up for the challenge!
