This weekend was Matt's birthday.
And to celebrate...
he went on his first cycling ride since his accident (10 months ago today)! He clocked 60 miles on Saturday, which certainly impresses me. I have to say that eventhough I am a tad nervous about cycling in general, I am so glad to be moving on. That scary time is completely over and behind us and we are so much stronger having lived through it. Only a few scars remain.
As part of this weekend's festivities I made the traditional Meat Cake!
Matt's birthday = Meat Cake. Once a year I roll up my sleeves and churn out a layer cake made with meat and frost it with mashed potatoes. It is silly every year and always brings smiles. To top the meal off I attempted to make a Lemon Meringue Pie. That one needs a bit more practice. Tasty? Yes. Runny? Yes.
Matt, what can I say? You are the greatest!
