To this guy...
This post is a little late, which doesn't make him any younger. ;) We celebrated with delicious Cobb salads from Stella, Bella, and Lucy's. My parents had to pick them up for me since SBL is only open for lunch. Of course smarty pants had already figured out my dinner surprise, but we still enjoyed the salads.
The salads were followed by an unconventional birthday dessert, tiramisu. I'm sure that this wasn't much of a surprise either, but it had been quite a while since I made him some. I hear that this batch was the best yet, so I must be doing something right. Someone finished this off in two days, not too shabby.
