Birthday Boy

The Birthday Breakfast Extravaganza was a success because:

1. This french toast recipe is the best.


2. And I made my killer strawberry sauce recipe.

There were many yummy noises being made. The strawberry sauce is unbelievably simple to make too!

For every cup of fresh sliced strawberries, use 1 tablespoon strawberry jam-- other berry flavors work just as well so experiment-- and 1 tablespoon sugar. Heat it all up until sugar and jam melt and strawberries soften slightly, about 5-10 minutes. Serve over ice cream, cakes, waffles, pancakes, whatever!

The Boy was happy to receive his presents and took off. He spent some quality time with his Game Boy until I wrenched him away and made him play outside. Unfortunately, we couldn't do the birthday party thing this year. Not with the way things have been at home. But he's quite happy to be getting Burger King for dinner and an ice cream cake for dessert. Both his choice.

I went ahead and ordered Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2-disc Special Collector's Edition)-- try saying that five times fast-- since it was so cheap over at amazon. While there, I also ordered a yoga book for the girl. She's become very gung ho and addicted to it. I think she'll be happy with it. I wish I'd ordered it sooner so it could be here for today. When you have two kids, you always need to get something for the other even thought it's not their birthday. Jealousy. I bought her a little trinket, but it didn't seem like enough. Not compared to all of what he got. I can only hope it comes soon.

Now off I go! More birthday celebrating must be done!
