One more cup of coffee

birthday fun

Yesterday, we had a big birthday party for Meredith. Meredith spent most of the day before the party cooking, then we started up the grill late afternoon and kept it running for a few hours before finally stopping.

Everyone seemed to have a really good time. The food was quite a hit, and the homemade Oreos & Vanilla ice cream was a smash success. It helps to use recipes from the Ben & Jerry ice cream cookbook. Ice cream recipes that call for fillings (such as Oreos) are always sort of surreal, as they involve directions like, "Two minutes before it freezes, add the filling." Yeah ... OK.

anne and Dave took Meredith up on her challenge to bring her a root beer she had never had before. They found one called 'Root 66' that Meredith said was delicious. I'll take her word for it — I prefer my root beer without the word 'root' in it ;)
