For Sarah's birthday we woke her up with H&H bagels (Emily made a trip to New York and brought these back), baked her a cake in the shape of a jellyfish, and then cooked a celebratory dinner with her favorite foods. The cake recipe is from (where else?) the Smitten Kitchen, and we topped it with some homemade bubble candy that Emily made. The tentacles are made of bubble tape.For Sarah's birthday dinner, the main course was lamb loin chops. I put them under the broiler for about four minutes on each side, and they turned out bleedingly rare, just the way Sarah likes them. I marinated them in olive oil, salt and pepper, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, and fresh chopped mint (all to taste) Somehow I forgot to take a picture of the finished product, but here's the raw meat:
The best part of this whole dinner was that we ate it outside and played frisbee after dinner: Becca is now good enough to go pro. Finally, it's spring.
