I prepared a feast for the family to honor the girls

Baby white roses decorate the dinner table.
Honey-seared salmon smoked in alder wood (prepared by Mr. Nielson),
garden-picked beets, brown jasmine rice,

I made a classic chocolate cake with delicious
chocolate butter-cream frosting for dessert.

Fashion over comfort, ladies!
