My birthday lunch at Queen Sheba.
After lunch, we went to a large park that has a huge duck pond. I brought along the scratch and was ready to overload the duckies and geese with good food. If you don't know, feeding them bread is not good for them. Anyhow, I didn't think about my birthday being in Winter, so the birds were scant, but those that were there had a nice surprise. Later the kids played at the park. We went home and rested until dinner, which was just a simple spaghetti with leftovers.
My beautiful slice of Black Tie Cheesecake
GR made my Black Tie Cheesecake for dessert. But, we really had a piece before dinner and a piece after, ahem. She made it at Thanksgiving, too. If you haven't tried this, yet, you should give it a go. It's pretty darn good! So, my birthday was quiet and spent with my family, just the way I like it. Normally, my folks are included, but their colds precluded their company. No new recipes here, just a rundown of a good day. :-)
'Me Birthday Grub, Yum'?! Are you a pirate now? Aye! Me Matey! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! It sounds like a wonderful day, indeed! I still haven't tried Ethiopian food, but the meal looks amazing - as does the cheesecake!
ReplyDeleteIf there was an all you can eat Ethiopian buffet near me, you can bet I would eat there monthly at least, not yearly! Looks great. Beautiful cheesecake too. Sounds like a really nice day. I didn't know you weren't supposed to feed ducks bread. What is scratch?
ReplyDeleteSV, Argh, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteIngrid, you've got to try Ethiopian food! And the cheesecake!
FF, bread swells up inside them and can kill them. Scratch is just a seed and dried corn mixture. If you can't find it or make it, give them bits of fresh produce. Much better for them than bread. Good luck!
Wow! That looks really good. Happy birthday a few days late!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane! :-)
DeleteHappy Birthday for last week!!!!!!! Looks like you had delicious meals :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteThat cheesecake looks crazy good! Almost too good to eat...like you should just put it on a pedestal and admire its beauty. :) Happy (belated) birthday!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? An Ethiopian buffet? I'd have a birthday every day for that! (Well, maybe not. I've had too many birthdays already.) Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a pretty great one.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIENND...MAY YOU CELEBRATE MANY MORE...GOD BLESS.
ReplyDeleteSandy, thanks! We sure did. :-)
ReplyDeleteSage, it's much better eaten. :-)
Andrea, love that Ethiopian food!
Millie, thank you!
Happy belated birthday. That cheesecake has long remained one of my favorite looking desserts ever.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny. :-)
