MY SISTER'S BIRTHDAY DAY

Both my sister and I have or buy most anything we want within reason when we want it so although we don't buy each other birthday presents we always try to spend the day together and do something unusual.

This year we had a "Test Kitchen Day" and cooked a couple of our newest or untried recipes and probably gained a few pounds along the way.  Oh yeah, we also included a Comedian show marathon thanks to streaming Netflix on the PS3.


We started the day with these round pancake thingys and then she made a Buffalo Wing and Blue Cheese appetizer.  After that she also did a Bruschetta with sweet red peppers and I made a quick herbed tomato sauce for pasta that we had as our main dish.  Then a dessert of a Apricot (made with fresh fruit) Cobbler of a sort, really good with Blue Bell but not really cobbler :)  

One of the more challenging things we did was "Ebelskivers"

The first ones were filled with Cherry Pie filling and didn't really work great.  We found out it it was a learning process :)

They were good but just not perfect.  So then we changed to filling them with Orange Marmalade and they were much better and sooooooooooo pretty!

All in all we had a very fun, filling and calorie laden day.  It was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
