Allan took the cake this year when he made my birthday dinner. Since he was leaving on his trip the day after my birthday, he suggested making the cake the previous weekend so we could enjoy a piece each night all week long. Great idea! So for the first time he tackled a German Chocolate Cake. I can't tell you how wonderful it was, although after I looked at the calorie count, I couldn't eat it guilt-free. I grudgingly shared a couple pieces with our maid and our driver. On Thursday night in a little over an hour, he whipped up a meal of lime-and-chile basted grilled lobster with lime butter sauce, cous-cous, and green salad. Mmm! Gotta admit it, not too many guys would be willing to jump in on that one, but it was actually a pretty do-able recipe taken from Bon Appetit (August '08). I was a pretty happy birthday girl!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Nancy, Nancy...You will have to write a book when you two retire!! Paul just got home and I read your new entries to him...they made us laugh. Loved the pictures. Bring your video to Port Townsend, would love to see it...or let us know if it gets on u-tube!
Love, Ann and Paul
I haven't gotten the hang of this blog business. I forgot to send you an email card or even a simple email for your birthday. You are always so thoughtful with me.
I wrote that Clarence wouldn't have done what Allen did and we have been married 37 years. He is a sweet guy though and puts up with me. We will be going back to Mauii in May for some fun time.
Love Bonnie
