Ian's Birthday

[pameladlloyd]

We just finished celebrating Ian's birthday. Karl baked a huge mushroom lasagna and made creamed spinach and carrots vichy, plus we had a huge salad. Everyone was stuffed, and then we brought out the gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting. It was all wonderful. And wonderful to have all seven of us sitting at the table together. That doesn't happen nearly often enough.

sounds lovely, I hope he had a great time, and wishing you all many more happy get togethers

Yes, thank you. We had a lovely time, except that our cooling system is extremely ineffective, so the house was uncomfortably warm, especially with all the cooking gong on earlier in the evening.

We will be having several family birthdays in the next couple of months, so I think I can count on us all being together a bit more often in the near future.

Mmm, that cake sounds good. And fun to make with small kids. Do you have a recipe you could share?

It was tasty. I'll see if I can extract the recipe from my husband, as he was the one in charge of the culinary preparations.
