02.13.2010 My birthday and FOOOOOD

So my birthday was pretty mellow and quiet this year, just how i like it. My mom and i BBQ'd some steaks and celebrated at home. I have been learning how to cook during my unemployment period so i'm not completely useless. Perhaps the husband will thank me later once he sees hot non-microwaved food on the table every night. hehe. Well here are some pictures.

Preparation

First time getting the grill started....we had a difficult time but we did it. Mmmm ribeye and new york steak.

Spending my day of birth with the person who gave birth to me! haha. Can't ask for more.

Take 2

Take 3

Take 4

So my mom and i were getting ready to go out and we heard this car pass by singing a song. Usually it's propoganda and stuff so i didn't think much of it. She said it was a sweet potato truck so of course we ran after it. She ended up buying 4. Next time i will take pictures of the truck..
