Nina’s Birthday!

For my B-day Sandra and Franco cooked a lovely dinner!

My friends Cindy and Dan had given me a beautiful flower arrangement earlier in the day…that made the dinner table very lovely!

Even the cats are celebrating…even so Sly kept on running away every time he would see the camera flashing!

Nina is just relaxing and waiting for the delicious food that Sandra is preparing.

Here is the result: Swordfish with pineapple Sambal, Corn on the cob with chipotle – scallion butter, Nutty brown rice and for dessert,Banana espresso bread pudding.

Thank you so very much dear Daughter for such a delicious birthday meal that I won’t soon forget! You are really the best. Thank you Franco for your help with the grill…the swordfish and corn were grilled perfectly!
