Hubby Turns 45

Ms. Ericka stopped by last night with a handcrafted Brazilian jersey cake for Hubs.

The three of us celebrated Hubs' actual birthday this past Wednesday with a surf n turf dinner and strawberry shortcake cake.

Poh Poh and Gon Gon took us out to Silver Pond (Hubs' fave Chinese restaurant) last weekend for an early celebration of Hubs' birthday. Father and daughter both enjoy a lobster claw.

Recipe for Mini Toni Soup

Munch jumps on my lap excitedly and makes her announcement.

Mommy, I'm going to make mini toni soup for Daddy!

Oh, you mean minestrone soup? How do you make it?

Mommy, you put 2 cups of sugar. And noodle and beans and two rice.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of sugar! Are you sure you need that much sugar?

Yes, and you put juice in it.

Hmm, interesting recipe, Gi.

Daddy going to love it. I'm going to make for Daddy in my kitchen cuz he likes mini toni soup. Ok, Mommy?
