B-Day


I had a very enjoyable birthday wed so thank you everyone for your birthday best wishes. I made a huge Mexican spread for dinner and Julie came to. I got lot of fun books like the art of ratatouille, the man who ate everything, the eleventh hour and a bunch of art book I got to splurge on 90 % off.
If you have kids and haven't read any of Graeme Base's books you should go to the library. I remember finding anamalia a book where it goes through the alphabet alliteratively and I loved it so much. This one called the eleventh hour is a rhyming mystery story. It is kind of like the mystery Island book mom got me and loved. there are things hidden in the fantastic images.
My "cake" was key lime pie I made myself. If you have ever bought them pre-made don't. they are about the easiest dessert you could make. Almost easier than instant pudding. Here is the really complicated hard recipe:

Key Lime Pie
1 graham cracker pie crust
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c key lime juice( yes key limes do taste a little different from regular limes )
3 egg yolks
whipped cream if desired

Mix milk, juice and eggs. pour into crust bake at 350 for 10-15 min.

Apparently you didn't used to have to even bake it because a reaction between the juice and the egg thickens it but because raw eggs can make you sick nowadays you bake it just enough to heat the eggs to be safe.
