The Five Course Meal!

For Purple Eye's 12th birthday last August, he wanted to make his own five course, gourmet, birthday meal. Here was the menu:

Appetizer:

Stuffed Mushrooms

Soup:

Pastini Soup

Salad:

Summer Kale Salad

Main Course:

Roast Duck with Plum Sauce and Three Root Mash

or 

Roast Chicken and Three Root Mash

Dessert:

Strawberry Cream Cheese Crepes

or 

Cupcakes

He made everything but the chicken and the cupcakes. I did that.

That night he was worn out!

A few nights before his birthday we went shopping for a duck and we couldn't find one. Well, early in the morning of his birthday, he (Purple Eye) woke me up and he was in a "tizzy". He had called over a dozen stores in the region and couldn't find a duck. He wanted me to give it a try on finding a duck. After about an hour of searching we finally found one and everything else went O.K! 

He wants to do Welsh Rabbit this year.
