My Birthday

October 6, 2014:

I made some barbecue for my birthday. I also made some pimiento cheese. Nancy Tanner made her famous potato salad, deviled eggs, endive with guacamole, cole slaw, a corn and black bean salad, a string bean salad, her famous pound cake, a fruit salad, and (on her first try ever!) the Platonic ideal of banana pudding — all while entertaining a 5-year old neighbor. She’s amazing. Add good friends and cold beverages. I have a wonderful life.
