Since Lindsey and I are heading to the States for a month and will be gone for Luke’s birthday, we wanted to celebrate early. There’s not a whole lot of options for celebrating special events here, but we’ve never exactly been ones to throw big whing-dings for stuff like that. What we usually do is let the birthday person choose what to eat for a special meal. Since the guys just brought home the bacon hippo, Luke wanted hippo burgers. We ended up having these foods over the span of a couple of days.
I found the recipe for the pie on Pinterest, but here is the original site where you can find the recipe.
Hope you all are having a great weekend and that you turned your clocks back when you were supposed to. We don’t do that here, but now we have to recalculate what time it is where you all are. 🙂
That chocolate pie looks delish! Thanks for following my blog!
Joy, thanks for sharing about your special day! I always love to hear about your family life. It helps me feel close to you, though so far away. Also thank you for your wonderful example as a wife and momma. I just read Linz’s blog, and though I thanked her, I must thank you as well for your loving obedient heart to Him.
Praying still for your safety as you travel to the states.
Love you,
debbie
Robin, hippo meat tastes closest to pork, although still a bit uniquely different. It is actually very tasty; much better than the local beef. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Joy – love your blog and wow, hippo burgers!! what an amazing birthday meal. What does hippo taste like anyways? Happy Birthday to Luke and safe travels when you head out.
