Birthdays are pretty special occasions.
Every life must be remembered and revered. We recently celebrated my husband's birthday in the best way possible---with dear friends and family gathered around our dining room table. They honored the birthday "boy" while enjoying a home cooked meal. Of course, the room had to be decorated with lots of bobbing balloons and flickering candles ! (The candles had not yet been added to the brass holders when this photo was taken. Many votive candles, not seen, lined a side hutch.)
It was a little hard to think up a Lenten meatless dinner but not impossible. The final meal consisted of two homemade quiches, mushroom and onion and crab with sliced almonds on top; fresh shrimp with cocktail sauce; mozzarella tomato salad; tiny baby carrots and olives; tortilla chips and salsa; homemade hummus and pita bread triangles; potato casserole; and spice cake with homemade cream cheese frosting with coffee almond fudge ice cream.
