A Birthday Dinner

We had a small birthday celebration over here in our house this weekend.  The birthday boy requested grilled chicken, grilled veggies and noodles.  Very similar to my birthday meal last year! 

I love that Adam’s favorite meal is mine as well!  While we didn’t eat all of the chicken on the platter above (and, below) we did manage to eat all of the veggies.

Adam and I seem to be having a mild disagreement on how much to cook the veggies… he likes them to be crisp whereas I like them to be soft.  Next time I think I’ll cook them!

For dessert, I decided to try something a bit different.

I know… I know… it looks like a normal cake, doesn’t it?  Well, it does until you get to this.

And, here is a picture of a piece that is cut out.

Adam was so shocked when he cut into the cake.  He just started laughing and asking how I managed to do this.  I had told him earlier in the day that he had to stay out of the kitchen while I was baking his cake as I hadn’t wanted him to see what I was doing.  I’ll do a separate blog post later today on how to make this colorful cake.  It was lots of fun to make but even more fun to watch Adam cut into it!
