Happy Birthday

Today was PH's birthday.  One of the big ones.  The kind you either celebrate or run from.  We chose to celebrate because come on, you just have to!

 Every year this group all has birthdays within four months of each other and this year they all turn the big one.  The number that's kind of hard to say because you can't believe it came so fast.

 But it did come, along with 45 years for us together.

We chose thick, tender prime rib steaks for everyone, what the butcher called Chicago cut because they are 1.5 inches thick.  If they were two inches thick they'd be called Cowboy steaks.  Either way, Chicago or Cowboy, they were tender and delicious and a true indulgence.

 

 We used a blow torch to light his candles but opted not to put 70 candles on his brownies, there just wasn't enough surface!  It was a day to really celebrate PH.
