Nacho cake and bacon pie
When the urge to eat dessert before dinner becomes irresistible…
Nacho cake

(Photo by Gretchen, the birthday girl)
(Conceived by Nate, executed by him and Matt, iced in a horribly unattractive manner by me. I came home from reporting on a Somerville football game to find a nacho cake on my stove and the boys asleep on my bed. Concocting the world’s most amazing party gift is exhausting, it seems.)

(Pardon the cleavage, professional blog.)
(Mom: You could have used a photo stylist for the “cake” but you look good!)
Bacon pie

(Bottom right. Under the bacon: apple filling, cheddar crust.)
(Too bad we cut the pie before the photographer arrived, because it had a delicate bacon lattice top… not constructed by me, obvs.)
Yes, these delicacies came into the world during a single weekend. Life is pretty good sometimes.

p.s. Because I am a good person, she said virtuously, I am not posting the photos of the Head Bitch in Charge.
