Celebrate

I nibbled on lady fingers, swirled myself in raspberry sauce, bathed in lemon cheesecake and consumed cumulous clouds of cream…for dinner.   Perhaps I should have ordered an actual dinner.  Yet, ice-cream strawberry shortcake and raspberry lemon cheesecake with lady fingers and cookie crust just sounded so much more delightful. 

Congratulations to Burns and his second day of the for-now-job.  Is it a for-now-job?  Man I don’t know.  There are good things and there are less appealing things.  But financial dissolution is a lesser un-appealing thing– of course we had at least a couple months more before such delights.  Nevertheless, you know how it is…ya kinda need a job when it comes to raising a family.  And!  Bonus.  He finally he works for a company for which I will not have to explain…who they are…what they do…why no one has heard of that company.  He works for his old competitor.  At least for now.

So we celebrated.  Since Burns loves food, we drove against the five o’clock traffic to dive into lettuce wraps, four cheese macaroni, spicy sliders for the boys and steak the size of Burns head.  And he has a grand sized head.  Yum.  I ate some appetizers and saved lots of room for the three different desserts.  I honestly couldn’t decide.  Except for the part where I KNEW I wanted dessert – that part was easy.  And don’t worry.  I ordered some awful black death cake with chocolate sauce and chocolate crème and chocolate brownie for the troops.   For the record, they destroyed my strawberry ice cream shortcake.  Burns actually cornered my raspberry lemon cheesecake and made out with a few of the lady fingers.  I was rocking the Moose hoping to dislodge his angry temper against my achingly full belly.  It didn’t work naturally.  Moose is far more stubborn when he’s fighting a cough than his lemon loving mommy.

Anyway, how could we feel sour after swimming in such luxurious desserts!  Congratulations Burns!  I’ll let you steal my cheesecake and I will feed your perfectly prepared lettuce wraps so you feel like a king.  I will hold the Moose so that he doesn’t make your head explode during his crying fits and we will talk to you on speaker phone all the way home since you were in your own car.

Congratulations Burns!
