I remember, some couple of years ago, Sara…my house/Bob sitter and then friend… after looking in my refrigeratior, commented: “Your refrigerator does not look like a single woman’s refrigerator!”

She was both reacting and teasing. And she is 18 years younger than I, so…different generational perspective.

Bottom line, I AM single, but my frig and pantry are very well stocked and I very much enjoy cooking a wide variety of food all for ME!

And I enjoy celebrating occasions with good food – good food to me. Which is not to say that if on any given “special day” – grilled cheese sounded good, grilled cheese would be my food to celebrate the day with :)!

But yesterday, for my birthday, I had a gorgeous ribeye thawed… The garden distribution provided cherry tomatoes and new red potatoes that I roasted, melted butter over and sprinkled with fresh rosemary…

…dinner.

A dark chocolate walnut brownie with scoops of hucklebery frozen yogurt and a bit of spearmint made for dessert.

The birthday dinner.
