Happy Birthday Mark!

I celebrated my birthday last week.  In addition to getting a cake of my choice, I also got a special birthday breakfast.  You'll recall that our former neighbors, the Grabers, were visiting.  When we lived in Beaumont, they would invite us over on New Years Morning for Bill's world famous huevos rancheros.  He usually also served some wickedly alcoholic milk punch, but that was just a side light to his delicious Mexican egg dish. 

When Bill arrived in Holland his suitcase included corn tortilla's, a can of refried beans and Hatch's Green Chili sauce, the perfect topping for huevos rancheros.  And on the morning of my birthday he was up bright and early cooking breakfast.  The supply of good Mexican food over here is limited, so it was a great way to start the day.

Huevos Rancheros may be one of those dishes that tastes better than it looks.  Those are refried beans at the bottom of the plate. 

My birthday cake choice continued the theme of ethnic foods -- Italian Creme Cake.  Thanks to Lori for baking another delicious cake.  Remember readers -- visit on (or near) your birthday and you can choose  any flavor birthday cake.  You will not be disappointed. 


Happy Birthday Mark
