celebrating 30 years of Cdawg with food…
Cooper’s birthday celebration was a winner. Especially for our waistlines. We pretty much devoted the entire day to food and family which is really one of the best ways to bring on the start of a 30th year.
We started with an assortment of pastries from our favorite cafe in Olympia. I could sit and eat there for days. I seriously think I could. Thanks to this trip to the cafe, Cooper realized he has a massive love for bread pudding.
Then we went to a local strawberry field to pick up a crate of freshly picked strawberries. Doesn’t get any better especially now when the berries are in their prime.
Then it was lunchtime with the pops followed by food preparation for dinner. Ha! (Actually, I had to take a walk in between meals…luckily I did bring a lot of stretchy pants).
The menu for dinner was what I KNEW Cooper would pick: bbq. Duh! We made ribs…
Prepared the strawberries…
For cheesecake! Seen here cooling on their great old school fireplace…
Made creamed spinach, opened a can of beans, slaw…
Skillet cornbread with honey butter…
Of course Cooper got the first slice…
I do declare it was a feast and a mighty fine day to be turning 30.
