For Jason’s birthday, I spent hours making an authentic clam bake dinner which included mussels, clams, shrimp, kielbasa and lobster tail (live lobster just was not happening). He unfortunately does not get this sort of meal very often, since I’m a vegetarian and pretty much ate exclusively the corn on the cob. :-) It was totally worth it though because he was completely surprised and LOVED every bite.

This photo is from a bar mitzvah several months ago and has absolutely nothing to do with our dinner. It’s good though, right? Mantel material.

This was Jason’s dessert. That is a big pile of beef jerky with a candle on it…and I’m not joking. He said it was the best birthday cake he’d ever had. :-)

Happy birthday Jason!!!
