Shorty's Birthday
Yesterday was Shorty's birthday. He turned 72...not quite as old as dirt but getting there.
A digression - for those not keeping track, let me tell you about July for me. First, it's my Mom's birthday then Steven's then my parents' anniversary and finally Shorty's birthday. I am very poor in July what with the gift buying.
Of course, Shorty wanted Steven and me to make him dinner at my house.
We actually made him a feast.
Steven prepared two big steaks. One with a Jack Daniel's marinade and another with a spice rub. We sauteed mushrooms and onions, had white corn on the cob, rosemary potatoes, garlic bread and salad. About half of the veggies were organic so I got to clear out a lot of my weekly delivery.
Shorty said it was the best birthday he ever had. Steven and I said, "We can't believe that's the best birthday out of 95." We are such smarty pants. It was a nice evening, though, and I'm off the hook for family gatherings at my house for a while, thankfully.
