The dinner







It was a wonderful success......the dawling loved his surprise.....I have decided to forgo the weigh in this Wednesday......I think I gained.....due to this calorie laden meal..........

The biscuits came from Dories's cookbook (made with heavy whipping cream), used a recipe with lots of changes from a blogger.....(crab bisque, I had frozen my fresh homemade tomato sauce from the summer and used that as a base, added no fat, half and half instead of the cream...it was darn good...oh and added some "heat")The meat, ribeye, I used the recipe from The minimalist....who wrote for the New York Times and just recently stopped...boo.......threw in a salad for the green stuff.....and for dessert, a cookie recipe from Sarabeth, but also tweaked it by adding some chocolate...the strawberries were dipped in dark chocolate from
Callebaut's.

Today it's my birthday...I feel like a sloth....haven't decided what or where to go......decisions..........

happy Happy HAPPY Birthday to you!
