April Fool's Day

This day also happens to be my Mother-in-Law's Birthday.  Lucky Lady! 

The family decided to have a feast for her prepared by each of us contributing something. 

Stephen, Makoa, and I were in charge of Bread and Dessert. 

This is my staple Sourdough French Bread that I make often.

For Dessert, I've been working on mastering the Molten Lava Cake, one of my favorites.

As for her gift, Makoa and I had fun with this. 

I had made Marvelous Marble Cream Cheese & Chocolate Muffins to take to dinner at a friends house the day before the birthday dinner.  I had one left, so I decided I would put a candle in it and have Makoa hold it for a picture to be framed and given to her as a gift.  That "photo session"  sparked a bit of inspiration.

As you can see, Makoa and I had fun.
