final birthday party preparations!

 making gael's goody bag with the cowboy print . . 

 packing the quill pens with the ink bottles . . 

 and putting up with the photographer . . 

greg was cleaning while i was cooking . . i mean . . taking photographs . . well, it was a cooking break! the menu consisted of dilly brown rice salad and black bean salad (along with red bean and quinoa chili for saturday night's dinner, all from cynthia lair's feeding the whole family); celery salad with red kidney beans (a norwegian recipe from my brother-in-law's family); pasta salad; muffins (corn molassis and gluten free strawberry from pamela's pancake mix); and the piece de resistance: flourless chocolate cake, only tripled this year since i forgot to get extra butter. but tripled is easier. my pots or bowls don't quite hold quadrupled . . whenever i make this cake i always want to make another batch the next day . . it is so good.
