Happy Birthday Phil!
March 30, 2010
This is Phil holding his 'birthday cake' and looking all handsome, tan, and 28. I could not find frosting, icing or birthday candles anywhere in Provence so this is a French fondue cake (or something like that) with butter used as icing (it's says Phil 28, in case you were wondering) cooked in a very confusing French oven. The dinner remnants beside him are a broiled steak, or what SHOULD have been a broiled steak but turned out more like beef jerky.... umm... I did my best Babe! He was a good sport. Besides, how can you mess up a birthday dinner when it is served in a beautiful villa in the south of f-ing France?? (By not knowing how to use the stove).
"David" Apron

One of my gifts to Phil. That's right, it's an apron with David on it. My mom came over to celebrate with us and we all sat around drinking red wine from the village we stayed in last summer when we visited Provence. 'Pierrevert Vin Rouge' comes in a 5-liter box for 15 euros and is our main beverage while enjoying the south of France. Anna's house is wonderfully peaceful and quiet, if you don't mind hearing the backyard donkey braying now and then.

There are also 3 cats here to take care of. Other than feeding the donkey some table scraps and taking care of the cats, we have been just kicking back and living the good life.
