Yesterday was Paul's birthday. Every year when I ask him what kind of cake he'd like me to make for him he says "a money cake"! Did you ever have one when you were a kid, a cake with coins wrapped in wax paper baked into the middle, they were awesome! Well, being that I had limited time to make a cake this year, Paul got his second favourite, an angel food cake. I cheated and made one out of the box, it couldn't be easier and was so yummy! It was a lovely treat with fresh sliced strawberries and kiwis and a dollop of whip cream!
We are having a dinner party with family and friends for Paul this weekend to celebrate but being that Paul's actual birthday fell on a Tuesday evening I thought I should make him a slightly nicer dinner than normal so I made my famous rack of lamb baked on a bed of cherry tomatoes along with baby potatoes, asparagus and orzo on the side. It was delicious. We topped it off with a bottle of 2004 Burrowing Owl Merlot which we had gotten when we were at the winery a few years back, it was the perfect pairing with lamb!
