talk with him the day before and he revealed that even thou he is 16 - he still would love a theme cake. So I had to give up all my grand ideas - made a play station - 2 remotes or whatever you call the things they hold and another cake as screen with the symbol of his favorite game (arrow) on it. I will be making 2 of the cakes

you all recommended when the next dinner comes around.

That was Mon. ON Fri. nite was my s-i-l birthday dinner celebration and I made tiramisu (his favorite dessert) and had a leg of lamb out

- Just as I was about to smear the lamb with Julia's mustard marinade - my daughter called to say her daughter was ill and we had to cancel the dinner.

So both the lamb (uncooked) and the tiramisu (ready) went into the freezer. We will try again next week!!

 
Traca, you articulated it beautifully!elaine, I love hearing about your family centric meals/dishes!

 
Okay we had a weird one today. My d-i-l is away and my son invited everyone else and a friend to his

pool. I had a chicken out so I quickly made the Ina Garten chicken that someone posted earlier this week and also a zuccini casserole.
The zucchine was left over from last weeks cancelled dinner.

So here was lunch - my chicken and casserole, leftover chinese
food that they had had the night before, a huge platter of meatballs
that his mother -in - law had prepared.(Moroccan flavored)
Watermelon, melon and cherries for dessert.
A good meal.........

 
Note to self....

first time I've seen it, LOVE IT! smileys/wink.gif
