Yesterday, a friend’s birthday, with a simple meal, and cake.

We start with a vegetable roast: brocolini, peppers, fennel, potato (parboiled), and assorted extras, amid EVOO, salt, pepper, and garlic.

Once it had done roasting, I added fresh lemon juice.

For protein, I served a pork baby-back rib dish:

They had marinated in two soys (sauce, miso), garlic, ginger, and some other secret additions. They were sweet and delicious.

Likely an even better method would have been to brine-soak them for several hours before adding the seasoning/marinade.

Via friends, I had the cake made in the likeness of an iPod via Happy Cakes.
