Summer is right on schedule!
And the pool is 92 degrees! Time for a swim!
Cheryl has brought red wine braised short ribs, slow cooked in a dutch oven...super tender meaty goodness
Pete has brought another take on short ribs...Kalbi BBQ with Szechuan peppers for a kick.
Pete also grilled shrimp...garlicky goodness on a stick!
Rounding out my birthday meal meal, mom brought a salad and Valerie provided the veg (roasted beets and beet greens...didn't get a pic of the mashed potatoes).
Mom, Pete, Cheryl, and Valerie have whipped up a feast for my birthday! And Pete is holding the mashed potatoes!

OMG! There is bacon on the cupcake called "OMG"! Ever since a particular incident occurred at Pete's house a year or two ago, I have been afraid to eat cupcakes in front of Pete. That said, Pete brought these. How can I refuse?
I look forward to my mom's chocolate cakes every year. This time she even included a train on top...but don't tell her that I far preferred her cakes when they were shaped like a train!
