Johnny's Birthday, pt. 2

So after Johnny opened his ipad and played around with it for awhile, I pried it out of his fingers with a sharp object from the garage, wiped the blood off the screen & carpeting and we went to eat supper!

We love to go to Mike's American Grill, (part of the Great American Restaurants chain here in Northern Virginia) for birthdays,  mainly because of the dessert ~ but more on that in a minute...

Decisions, decisions...there is NOTHING on that menu that isn't simply mouth watering delicious.

My arse is a living testament to that statement.

You're welcome for that mental image.

Sorry. But, I had to be honest.

And this is what I was talking about. The finale that makes the world spin perfectly on its axis.

The flourless chocolate waffle....served with ice cream, fudge and caramel sauce.

We didn't want him to have to endure that dessert all by himself, did we Liz?

Photobucket
Because she and I are helpful like that.

Oooooh...but wait! There's MORE!

I made Johnny his favorite chocolate birthday cake! My chocolate ganache icing didn't turn out right, way too lumpy.

Photobucket
But these two didn't seem to mind much at all.

Photobucket
Hey wait a minute, what do you think you're doing? That's my cake!

I live with wolves.

They didn't complain that I'm not a pro at making a "ganache." Johnny says I need way more practice and that I need to make him a chocolate cake every week to get that icing just right. Uh-huh.

And guess what those two had for breakfast the next morning along with a huge glass of milk? Yessireee! We're all about super bad habits around here. They make me so proud.

Liz flew back home a few days later to finish her last semester of college. Her visit flew by! I'm still sifting through all of my Peoria pics (I took over 500) so I'll have more to post in the coming days.

My Josh just came home from a long day at work so I'm going to go spend some time with him now  :o)   Cya.....
