Birthday ribs and raspberry trifle!

So another birthday gone by and I had a great day minus the four hours I spent in the lab. But following that Jenn and I took part in Kitchener’s annual beer and ribfest. It was a hot humid day but Kitchenerites were out in numbers. The line to get beer tokens was ridiculously long and as we had tried all of the craft beers before anyway, we decided to beeline it over to the ribs! Each of the six rib vendors had their trophies set out on tables from previous years ribfest winnings from across the province. Although the ribs were a little pricy at 9.00$ per 1/3 rack, they were delicious. I didn’t even care that my face was smeared with rib sauce.

Following ribfest, Jenn and I played some Frisbee in the park. We have been playing a lot of Frisbee and tennis lately. I’m the better Frisbee player but she is the better tennis player. The best part of the day was the massive raspberry trifle she had made for desert. It was delicious. So delicious in fact that I had it for breakfast the next day. As you can see, despite it’s size, it is already half gone.

Here is a picture of the beautiful wine rack that she got me. It is already full!

Aaaaand Jenn’s ring should finally be arriving next week. It was originally supposed to be 14k gold but was upgraded to platinum at no additional cost because that is all that they make that setting in. Here are some pictures of the ring I originally picked for her, but it’s profile was a little to high. The ring she picked, the diamond is flush with the band.
