Happy Birthday to Frank

FOUND: In my mother's closet, an ultimate Vintage Accessory.  I cannot wear most of her shoes, but this sassy pair mostly works.  Not for lengthy wear.  It was my friend Frank's birthday, so we celebrated the best way we know.  A delicious dinner at Berkeley's Paisan and dessert with champagne.  Well, sparkling wine. 

I made chocolate cake again, only this time in single-serving ramekins.  Much easier clean-up! 

We have a fantastic lemon tree so pending a long-standing debt of lemon curd cookies, I made a tart.  We eventually were four for dessert but nearly a week later, I am still working on finishing the tart.  The tree was a wedding gift to my parents.
