Of course, she is none too happy about being a year away from the big 4-0. Feliz Cumpleanos to both!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Heather for her hard work preparing some amazingly mouth watering food, as well as hosting the shindig. As usual, she outdid herself with the Jello shots, the slow-smoked ribs, yummy potato salad, and homemade ice cream just to name a few of her creations. And not to be forgotten, Lisa&#8217;s crab\/artichoke dip and smoked salmon and Alisa&#8217;s crackamole, I mean guacamole. (Yes, it&#8217;s <em>that<\/em> good.)
