What a great birthday! Thank you! Breakfast in bed, the 1st grade book club and then friends over for a party.
Debbie and Peyman, Monica and David, Margit and Ben, Andrea and Dana, joined David, Naomi, Simone and me for salad, a variation on the cumin rich Judge’s stew and scrumptious dark chocolate cake. (Oh and a lovely flan from Margit.)
A delicious take on the Judge’s Stew…perhaps I’ll call this version the Probationers’ Stew. It’s more spicy and loaded with cumin.
The fennel, raspberries, goat cheese, soft garden greens and balsamic dressing made this a great salad.
Debbie baked the darkest richest chocolate cake. I saw her 10am post on Facebook about it cooking in her oven. After that I was a goner. Ended up dreaming about it for the rest of the day. Finally the moment came and it was even better than my imagination.
