What are you having?
taco bar, cheesecake, lemon meringue pie (2nd DS's birthday)
I am not sure yet. Tuesdays are hard since my son has trumpet lessons at 4:30. Dinner usually waits until I get home from that.
A OTR truck driver once told me that I made the best lemon meringue pie that he's ever tasted...quite the compliment!!!!
