For the collective birthday party, I made red velvet cupcakes (would not make again), strawberry shortcake cake (definitely make again but not use the frosting recipe), peach white wine sangria (<3) and blueberry crumb bars (tried and true recipe).

Was an absolutely awesome celebration with streamers preceded by dinner at Woodberry Kitchen.

used this recipe to make this tres leche cake for tomorrow's potluck lunch at work. Hopefully it is good!

tonight for dinner Christine and I made:

Crock pot Korean short ribs

Roasted Cauliflower

Herbed monkey bread

Pan-fried dumplings

So so so good
