My older brother, Ozzie, and my sister, Beata, along with her husband, Bill, came over\u00a0for dinner\u00a0this evening to celebrate my mom’s 81st birthday. Beata had come over a bit earlier to help with the decorating and the making of the crepes (palacsinta, to be more precise).<\/p>\n

Dinner was one of my all-time favorite meals, which we affectionately call “barf” because of its appearance. It’s a kind of soup\/stew\u00a0that my mom makes every once in a while\u00a0with a wide variety of chopped and cooked vegetables, with chunks of beef. I always add mustard (usually over-add) for extra flavor and authentic barf coloring.<\/p>\n

Dessert was a decadent carrot cake with a square-rooted nine candles, compliments of Beata and Bill, which unfortunately everyone was too full to get to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Even though the whole family couldn’t be here, it was a pleasant way for my mom to cap off her day of birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n
