Yesterday was Brian’s 40th birthday. In honor of the day, we both took off work. He puttered around in the shop most of the day and I spent the afternoon cooking. Since it was a special birthday, I made a special meal, Lasagne Verdi al Forno, Caesar salad, and garlic bread. We had a nice cabernet to go along with the meal. I made this lasagna once before (for an previous birthday of his), but it tasted even better than I remembered (and it didn’t take me quite as long to make–probably because I’ve made homemade pasta a few times since then). It was just the three of us so it was a pretty laid back evening.
Birthday week kicked off with dinner at Brian’s parent’s last weekend and will conclude with dinner at my parent’s this weekend. How does he rate?
