My mother opted for carryout since she thought it would be too stressful for me to prepare a meal for 13 people with a running monster getting into everything, I was saddened but the food was great. The grub was from Maggiano's in Troy. On the table are some of the vegetables from the garden as decoration.
Aidan enjoying the bread, per usual.
He loves to feed his Auntie
Happy Birthday Grandpa!
And of course with any good Italian celebration, comes a casada cake (layered with cannoli filling)
And don't forget the accordion player, Aidan danced the night away
My contribution to the party: (not-so-key) Lime Pie
Filling:
- 14oz can of condensed milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup of lime juice- about 3 small limes
- 2 tablespoons lime zest (from the limes for the juice)
Crust:
- 8 sheets of gram crackers
- 1/2 stick of light butter
Melt the butter, add crushed gram crackers. Press into a 8" pie pan, and bake at 375 until light golden brown, about 7 min. Beat all ingredients together for the filling, pour into slightly cooled pie crust. Continue baking between 15-20min, until done. Cool and enjoy!
My eggplant parm looks a bit odd because it is coated in oat bran and ground fresh herbs. It looks strange but it was fantastic.
Sauce and parm recipe coming soon, I've been making mad crazy amounts of sauce and I will be writing down what I do soon enough to share.
Little man approved.
