Happy Birthday to me

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Well today is my birthday, I am not going to say how old I am only how old I feel, 20ish LOL.

I feel fortunate to have lived so long having a healthy and happy life, I am fortunate to be doing what I love and being my own boss. I just finished loading out a party with some of the items I am still perfecting like my sweet potato cakes if you have any suggestions towards the perfect sweet potato cake let me know.

I think I finally got my Lime in the coconut chicken , this recipe came about because of a challenge from my daughter Safrone, we were out to lunch at one of the top eateries in Tampa and I ordered a dish that offered a sauce with lime, coconut and cilantro, it was very disappointing and as she often does Safrone said ” Mom I know you can make it better than this and on my third try i have finally gotten the taste I was looking for.

I am heading home to get dressed in my birthday finery and going to the Don Cesar for dinner should be lots of fun.

Happy holidays to all my friends.
