My big brother graduated from medical school this weekend and holy moly was it fun!!! I baked two batches of cake balls and cake pops for the festivities (destroying my tiny kitchen in the process), and we managed to devour almost all of them (even after stuffing our faces with more goodies from the fridge!).
The devil's food ones were the hands-down faves but the carrot cake put in a good show. Nom nom!
We had family come visit from out of town and it really made the whole occasion THAT much sweeter! We did a lot of gabbing, crying, and laughing this weekend as we gathered together to watch Frank walk across the stage and receive his MD.
We had lunch at McCormicK & Shmidt's, where we gobbled our way through appetizers like portobello mushroom and goat cheese bruschetta, steamed clams, a crab, avocado, and mango tower, tempura shrimp, and more. In my excitement to snap pictures on my iphone to document these yummy treats, similar to a great California redwood falling over, I too fell out of my chair in the restaurant and crashed to the ground -- what a spectacle! Having more family in town also means more people to laugh at you when you make an ASS out of yourself in your nice dress at a nice restaurant. The best part is that ALL of the foodie pictures that I ended up taking were fuzzy and sent to the iphone picture trash can later! Fun times... ;)
It has been a long four years and we are so incredibly proud of Frank's success. Congratulations buddy! <3
