I do enjoy eating out at times but we go at the slow times so no rush.

Today, however, I'm cooking. I prefer to spend relaxing time with
friends for conversation. This is birthday week. My wife and a good
friend are a day apart so I treat them to a nice meal.

My friend will be here about 1 PM and I went this morning to get both
ladies flowers. We'll start out with a bottle of proseco, a dip,
stuffed mushrooms.

Once the sun moves around we'll head to the deck. Dinner will be
cornish hens on the grill, sausage and apple stuffing, caprese salad.
sangria made from a bottle of rose.

Yesterday I baked a cake, chocolate with chocolate buttercream frosting.
