Today’s Matt’s birthday! He spent most of it doing the food projects he enjoys but doesn’t always have time for.
He got up super early to make barbecue sauce and start grilling some ribs. The sauce was so good! It was spicy mango and he made a dry rub to go with with. We had the ribs for lunch with some corn on the cob (surprisingly good for May, no idea where it grew) and corn muffins.

Then we recreated his 8th birthday roller skating party and had a homemade pizza and ice cream sundae party. I did not make the ice cream or the many toppings but I was tempted. We did make the pizzas! A bunch of different toppings from mortadella to fancy cheese to pepperoni and mushroom.

We have a lot of leftover ribs and pizza! we erred on having too much rather than run out. Ice cream too. And we still have cake from over the weekend. I don’t think we will have to do much cooking this week.
