Birthday pix!

I decided that to celebrate the 1st anniversary of my 29th birthday properly, that I wanted to have all my close peeps over. My lack of desire to cook anything turned into some appetizers, which then snowballed into a gourmet feast. Thanks to andrea, sonia, and marc for all their help, we were able to whip up some hors d'oeuvres in no time! I won't post the recipes in the usual fashion as I followed them pretty much to a tee. I just wanted to share the links and some pictures. Thanks to drea for the pix or I would have nothing to show for this momentous anniversary! Because let's face it, you can only celebrate your 1st anniversary once....

Mock Tortilla Espanola

My friend Clea just moved back from Montreal so I have been able to see a lot of my little stinker lately. She taught me how to make tortilla espanola. I can not make it nearly as good as she can...so this recipe below is the bastardized version. The apples give it a hint of sweetness. 

Sad Dinner...

...this is what marc eats when I don't cook for him...

 poor, sad marc!
