Had all the local family members come over to the house for a belated birthday dinner for my sister’s husband, Bill, who turned muffled mumble.<\/p>\n

The meal consisted of a Hungarian stew\/sauce (usually we make it with beef but this time my mom made it with chicken per Beata’s request for Bill) that gets poured over some home-made dumplings. Always a family favorite.<\/p>\n

We also had some side veggie dishes as well as a cucumber salad prepared in a typical Hungarian fashion with a touch of salt and sour cream. Dessert was a fantastic Julian apple pie supplied by Beata.<\/p>\n

Presents included a buttload of identical mechanical pencils, which I wish I would have gotten a photo of.<\/p>\n

My younger brother, Bigboote, even called from New Mexico to wish a happy birthday to the birthday boy.<\/p>\n

We also sat for two family portraits. One was normal, the other…not so much.<\/p>\n

You can decide which is which.<\/p>\n
