Personal stories
The older 3 (Ben, Freddie, and Franke) all celebrated their birthday (they were all born on the same day!). Here are the birthday traditions we do (waking them up with a candle, height measuring and more!)
We took a morning trip to Port Washington, what a lovely town, and went to a park and had ice cream there.

Reader comment
I made this today to take to a potluck, since I already knew that a similar recipe with brussel sprouts was good. This will replace that recipe for sure. This will be on my table in some variation every week or two
