Birthday Dinner

Gary's 50th birthday was yesterday, but we are celebrating all week. His parents, sister and family, cousins and aunt are all here.

A few weeks ago, I made and froze 3 pans of lasagne. My experience with lasagne is that it always takes longer to heat than I think it will. So I put this in the oven long before I wanted it hot. And waited. And waited. And waited. Gary says it was because I was cooking all 3 pans at once. Whatever. It stressed me out.

The garlic bread was a HUGE hit. I love it when people like my food.
