The table was set...

for Mom's birthday dinner.

My new favorite cheese from Trader Joe's.

Morbier - it's a French cheese, creamy

and nutty with a vein of blue

running through the middle. It's

like two delicious cheeses in one.

Served with toasted baguette & bread sticks.

On the menu:

Asian grilled salmon

(Barefoot Contessa Recipe - so easy)

Steamed white potatoes w/ garlic,

basil, salt & pepper

French green beans & tomatoes

in a vinaigrette

Steamed baby carrots with butter & dill

for dessert...

Chocolate lave cakes with vanilla ice cream

and fresh raspberries
