January 20th: BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA: shrimp, ribs, pasta, bread, salad

It has happened: my baby has turned 3. And she is so 3: smart, funny, perceptive and a genuinely pleasant person to spend time with. Smartest thing I ever did was having this kid. We had a kick-ass birthday, if I do say so myself: breakfast at Cora's, Cosmic Adventures, Tangled 3D, big nap in the car, then a party with the family. This party had no kid-friendly limitations: Chili-coconut shrimp, Beer & 5-cheese penne, artisan bread, Oven-baked ribs with maple barbecue sauce and a honkin' big salad with lemon and oil dressing. Delicious. Would do them all again in a heartbeat. The only recipe being tossed is the rib recipe, as I already have better. I enjoyed the roasting as a cooking method, though; it was quite simple.

  1. Wow, that was quite a day! That's a very pretty party dress you have, Miss O. Congrats on being 3. The food all looks (or sounds) lovely!
