See what I mean about being the "shorty" in the family? Yesterday was my dad's birthday, and we all headed to my Baby Bro's house for a cookout. Baby Bro and Baby Sis (both wearing dark on either end of the group) are the twins. Baby Bro is all about grilling and smoking meat these days so we let him have at it. We had ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, potato salad, tossed salad, cole slaw, baked beans, jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese & little smokies, wrapped with bacon and smoked along with the meat. I baked a coconut cake (Dad's request) and an almond cream cheese pound cake (my son's request for his birthday which is coming up this Tuesday), and vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting. My SIL made more of those absolutely deliciosos key lime cupcakes. Sorry for all of you who are vegetarian or on a diet. I am very easily overwhelmed by such large quantities of food. As much as I'd love to sample a bite of everything, it's just too much for me, but I managed to sample most of it, and it was good! I brought home a doggy bag, and that's what he had for lunch after church this afternoon.
Although pulling all of the arrangements together at the last minute can be a royal pain in the behind at times, spending time with my family makes me smile.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! I love meeting interesting readers...so often I just think it's the same 9 people that read over and over again ( which I don't know why that's bad!
