I told my Husband and youngest son not to risk going to the shops to buy me a Birthday card so they decided to make me one, these are what they made:
There are a lot of downsides to being in lockdown because of the coronavirus but there are also some benefits - it's lovely having the whole family together at home and both of my sons have decided that they would like to cook more. These are Matthew's latest creations:
A very nice Beef Strogonoff with cheesy garlic bread.
Chicken Korma with Onion Bhaji and Pitta Bread, all very tasty - especially the Onion Bhaji.
He cooked this apple cake for my Birthday, it was lovely eaten straight from the oven with some ice cream.
This was Laurence's first attempt at cooking a leek and bacon pasta bake, very yummy - I look forward to seeing what he tries next.
Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated - I will be back tomorrow with a card.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Pauline. A great idea for them to make you a card and the meals looks delicious. Our daughter cooked for us last night for a change and we've decided she's going to do it once a week from now on to keep her hand in :) x
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes for you. I am so impressed with your sons. The card is the sweetest and one I know you will treasure. Those meals look wonderful and they are not just into bacon and eggs, but really excellent meals. How wonderful for you to be sharing that with them. (And to have someone else cooking for you)!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you. The meals are wonderful.

Wow. Seems like the men in your household are stepping it up. Handmade cards, dinner and dessert, that’s not bad at all. Lucky you:)
ReplyDeleteWow, those meals look amazing. Whatever he is presently doing, maybe he has missed his calling. What a nice break for you too. And warm cake with ice cream too. Glad your birthday was special with homemade cards and a delicious meal. Happy Birthday Pauline.
