What We've Been Eating

Not that you asked...

Three layer chocolate cake for Nancy's 40th birthday. (Okay really 44 but who's keeping track?)



Homemade crackers, which Milo and Goldie LOVED sprinkling with salt, herbs and Parmesan cheese.









Rhubarb fresh from a friend's garden and quickly turned into this.



Chocolate bundt cake served in our sun room and shared with anyone who walked by.

Happy Birthday, Martin children!
