I didn’t go fancy for the rolls this year, and I baked them in a 9×13 pan. The middle ones weren’t quite done, so I ate them so my guests wouldn’t have to.

I bypassed the free-if-you-spend-$60 turkey at Winco for one that wasn’t injected with things. And that meant brining! Here you can see my small turkey was not quite small enough for my biggest pot. It worked out okay in the end.

And here are the final frosted cupcakes. Note the cake-to-frosting ratio is just right.

I spent the night before my birthday celebration whipping up delicious cupcakes. A delicious martini was my reward.

You know that part in the film Mary Poppins where Julie Andrews rolls her Rs to get across the joy that is Rrrrrrum Punch? Having now had Brandy Punch, I see what the excitement is about.

I could drink these all day long.

The loss of PB Max after a few glorious years of my adolescence has taught me to not get attached to any manufactured food. But there are some things I could theoretically recreate at home including this Cuban inspired ham and swiss thin-crust pizza that is a product of Germany.

So I took a picture of the various parts that it consists of.

This was another great find in the 12 Bottle Bar (I have just discovered that before it was a book it was a website.)

I can see how one might have more than one of these while watching Lawn Tennis and then not be able to play a round of said game.

My notes for this say: a lot of alcohol.

It was pretty good, though, if I recall correctly. Of course, with that amount of alcohol, there’s a chance I wouldn’t recall correctly. 😉
