  2. OK, guys… First off… THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this birthday challenge!โค Hugs!!
    Secondly, You did a great job of executing everything.
    CONFESSION: I have never even had any of the dishes I entered ๐Ÿคญ Not even the drink! ๐Ÿน But I chose things I have always wanted to try, and would be fun and summery. Also, it made a fun challenge for you! ๐ŸŽ‰
    I think its quite interesting how the meal ended with cake๐ŸŽ‚ and ice cream๐Ÿจ
    The "twin vibes" were definitely there!๐Ÿฉท
    Thanks again for taking the time to do this special birthday challenge for us. It was SO MUCH FUN to watch๐ŸŽ‰
    Love alwaysโค๐Ÿ˜ป
    (Happy Birthday Heather
    ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿจ๐Ÿฅ‚)

  3. Not familiar with short ribs, now I want to try them. All that food looked spectacular. Gnocchi, my grandpa (from Sicily) would say 'Ga-notchi' and if you asked why he would say 'eesa spell' I think he was saying 'its the spelling' but who knows. For the record I'm a twin.

  4. Tipsie mermaid, shirt ribs, Brussels sprouts and the ice cream. Would be great. Yummy ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹

  5. I have heard it pronounced Say-cher torte but I really don't know! Shoot,and I should have told you using raspberry jam is so yummy in it!

  6. Hi Cam and Steve . . . and Hi Heather and Heidi . . . . a very Happy Birthday to you 2 ladies ! ! ! ! ! . . . watching ya'lls birthday party reminded me of twin 4th graders that were students of mine way back in the late 1970s or early 1980s . . . they were very sweet little girls . . . and now i have to deal with the thought that they very likely are mommies with children of their own who could easily be around the age of 4th graders . . . how time goes by . . . . again, Happy Birthday, Heather and Heidi ! ! ! ! ! ! . . . . .
