My son Keith celebrated his birthday this week- yesterday in fact. We celebrated yesterday with barbecue burgers and a Chocolate Cake. I also had former school friends the day before.
The recipes were to include hot dogs from Tip Top meats in Carlsbad one day and barbecued burgers the next.. BUT Tip Top ran out of their famous wieners. I could hardly believe it but apparently neither could they. The desserts had to make up for the loss.
Saturday was to be the schoo teachers reunion. I made the Strawberry Tart I have written about before but this time I made it with a Pate Sucre shell that combined an old favorite with a new favorite.
