A lovely birthday weekend
Monday, May 19th, 2008My birthday was yesterday, but Mr. Tldz and I went out for dinner on Saturday. (The restaurant isn’t open on Sundays.) Yummy Thai food from Phuket. Leftovers for lunch today. It was a leisurely meal with no baby in tow. Yep, it was a big day for Agent Murphy’s half-birthday - he stayed with a babysitter for the first time. His Aunty M. was nice enough to come over for the evening, and apparently he comported himself well.
Even though it was a day early, I got to open my presents when we got home - Alton Brown’s kitchen manual for organizing our own recipes and kitchen notes and Joseph and Chico. An authorized biography of the pope for children written from the perspective of a cat he used to own - how cool is that?!? A quick glance at it suggests it will be a lot of fun and well worth reading.
Yesterday, we enjoyed sweet tea - our first batch of sun tea of the year. That went along with leftovers for lunch - green tomato pie and barbcued green beans. Gosh, you’d think I was a Southerner or something! Then it was homemade pizza for dinner, followed by chess pie. We also made an egg custard pie for the week, so we’ll be able to compare and contrast the pretty similar recipes.
All in all, a lovely weekend.
