Lori's 29th Birthday

We wanted to have Lori and Bill over for dinner to celebrate Lori's 29th birthday. We also invited Christy and Colin to celebrate with us. I decided to make the Goat Cheese Ravioli again, because it has been my favorite recipe to make so far, plus I was worried if I tried something new it might turn out like the debacle when I made the Pork Loin a couple of weeks ago. Well, everything turned out pretty good and I didn't have any problems. I was able to make the ravioli a couple hours ahead, and I covered them and put them in the refrigerator. For a vegetable dish, my production manager requested that I make the Roasted Asparagus with Capers and Eggs, which was a hit the first time I made it.

Lori with her plate food. Looks Good. Picture taken by my production manager.

For dessert, Christy made her famous Key Lime Pie, which was absolutely delicious! I believe the recipe is TOP SECRET, but I'm hoping I can get it from her!

Holy Toledo, take a good look! Bill is loading the dishwasher. Everybody pitched in with the clean-up which was very helpful because I usually make a big mess when I cook.

I think Colin is pinching Bill's ear trying to get him to scrub the pan faster! Colin did dress up for the evening, but he spilled wine on his shirt and I had to give him a much sought after Hanna Construction T-shirt to wear for the rest of the evening.
