NED TURNS 53

August 26, 2020

Yesterday was Ned's birthday.

I'd been asking him for a couple of weeks what he wanted for dinner, ready to cook anything that he wanted and two days ago he thought he would take a roast out of the freezer and sous vide it, but then he decided that what he really wanted was a nice big juicy not fast food burger.

So we all ordred burgers from Burgers and Brew here in Davis.  They aren't doing sit-down meals, but are doing take-out meals and had just what Ned was looking for.

We each had special burgers.  Mine was onion and mushrooms on a cheeseburger, Ned had a plain cheeseburger, Marta had an avocado burger and Walt had a lamb burger, which I almost ordered, but decided I could taste his.

The meal was delicious.  Much too much food (I have half a burger left for lunch tomorrow) but delicious.  We also had garlic fries and fried onions.

When dinner was over, we decided we needed to wait before dessert, so Ned opened his gift. A few months ago, I found a great Superman card. I often give Ned Superman stuff since Superman was such a big deal in his childhood.  I stuck it in the glove compartment of the car and promptly forgot about it.  Walt just happened tofind it when looking for something in the glove compartment yesterday...just at the right time!

A year or so ago, I got him the complete Breaking Bad on DVD so this year I got four seasons of Better Call Saul (the 5th season hasn't been shown yet).  Needless to say he was happy with it.

It was eventually time for dessert.  I had made an apple pie using the remaining apples on our tree.  I had crust problems again and it didn't look as beautiful as I had hoped, but it was one of the most flaky crusts I have ever made and it was delicious.  We had the pie a la mode.

So Ned's birthday is now over and we go back to Groundhog Day again tomorrow.
