45th

Friends gathered at our house last Saturday morning for a Parisian Breakfast to celebrate my birthday! I turn 45 today. Tonight, Doug is treating me to dinner at the brand new Tre Trattoria.



I made Asparagus, Shallot and Swiss quiches, my own recipe, and a vegetarian option.







For sweet decadence, I also made Paula Deen's French Toast Casserole.









There was lots of good cheer and conversation. Everybody came bearing gifts. I have much to be grateful for. 45, yikes!








I share my birthday with the fabulous Mr. Thomas Sowell. He is a columnist, Economist, Stanford fellow and author. My favorites are View of the Annointed and Quest For Cosmic Justice.
