Every year for my birthday, we have a dinner party and Lily make me one of my all-time favorite foods, Borscht. This week she was a little under the weather, so we are reserving Borscht for our Sunday ice-fishing food, but Lily still did some serious cooking. She made a cheesecake, a chocolate beet cake and a beet puree to go on the beet cake.
I had a crazy day at work (and went back to do more work after the dinner party due to all of our account planning, and sync meetings and deliverables happening right now), but the party was a huge highlight in such an arduous week. The guests were Morgan and Jessie Vandagriff (and their kids Henry and Vika), Tyler, MichaelAnne, and Daniel Olsen. It was incredible how naturally the conversation flowed, and it was so enjoyable, and such a bright spot in the stress and exertion I’ve felt immersed in lately. I love my friends, and my incredible wife for always helping make my birthday special!
