#37 Birthday Lasagna, Thanks Leah, 2011 Photo by Wes
Most years I try to take a bird trip every spring. I sometimes start at Ron’s place in northeast Arkansas where we go birding during the day at Wapanocca NWR or some other area.
Then I head over to Heather and Leah’s, they are about a six hour drive west of Ron up in the northwest corner of Arkansas.
My birthday falls in mid-May so I’m normally at the girl’s for birthday cake and a meal of my choice.
Ron’s Dad, whose name was Wiley, invented a pot of what he called; “Slam Slaughter”, which is a fish/clam chowder with Salt Pork cooked to a crisp and thrown in as well. My wife, (Ron’s sister.), taught my daughters how to make Slam Slaughter, Lasagna, and Carrot Cake exactly the way I like it.
Although I alternate the requested main course year by year, I always ask for the Carrot Cake, look at it, the reason is obvious… the frosting is as tall as the cake.
