My little brother turned 50! (youch!) We feted him this weekend. We had roast chicken, mac&cheese, veg, lovely crisp baguette (brother baked) and the important part: chocolate brownies (the "birthday cake"--he baked them himself), chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chocolate-chip ice cream (are you noticing a trend here?) and I brought a really good pumpkin cake roll with a cream-cheese ice cream filling.I gave him a wooden box with a needlepoint inset in the lid. Our wise sister gave him a more appropriate chocolate cook book.
We planned a "girl's day out" for the 12th. I can't wait!
