1. Raspberry and buttercream layer cake made by all the blockmates for Alison's birthday
2-3. Chocolate cake I made for Jeffrey's birthday before leaving for school in September
4. Soup my mom made with squash and other Chinese ingredients
5. Spring rolls my mom made--the wrapper hasn't been deep fried, but that's how I like it!
6. Chocolate chip pancakes I made...but Puddles ate most of the stack before anyone else got a bite
7-12. We surprised Alison on her birthday with a homemade picnic by the Charles: sun-dried tomatoes and chicken gemelli pasta, French bread topped with more tomatoes, herbed olive oil, and proscuitto spread, and our beautiful cake (eaten from cups because we ran out of plates :P)
