'Course I prompted many of those wishes with my blog post of April 24th.
And for those wondering what type of celebration I had I can tell you today that it all took place within the walls of our home.
I am extremely fortunate to live with one of the great cooks of the world so why go out to a restaurant, right?
Judy, aka SWMBO, started us off with a delicious new recipe for a fresh pea soup, topped off with Mexican crema and mint leaves.
Devastatingly delicious!
Then the main entrée . . . mussels and mussels and mussels, cooked and served in a garlic and white wine sauce.
Typical of the honoree, he forgot to take a photo until there were only the discarded shells left.
After a bit of rest in front of the television and Antiques Roadshow . . . (hmmm, I wonder why she chose that program) . . . the meal was topped off with wedges of a scrumptious carrot cake, my favorite.
Just another great meal.
Now as to my luck with the lottery, considering that it was my 77th birthday, I bought two tickets but we'll have to wait until tonight and tomorrow night to see how they'll work out.
