July 23 is my son's birthday

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ANDREW!!! Turning 16 is a big thing when you're that age. I remember it was a pretty big deal for me.
I hope you celebrate together and have fun!!

Thank you ladies.

I bought Andrew a new barbecue for his birthday. He loves to cook. It has a side burner, and ice bucket and cold condiment tray, a light in the lid so he can cook in the dark and even a bottle opener on it. He likes it a lot. He has been wanting a new barbecue, the old one is too badly broken to use any more so he has not been able to grill yet this year.

Wow, thats great he likes to cook out! That was nice of you. I bet he really appreciated that. Any cake?

Yes, of course cake. Black Forest, his favorite. Plus I took him out for dinner.

He likes to do all sorts of cooking, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, barbecues, everything. He'a very good at it too. He has been cooking since he was 7 years old. Once he cooked a 3 course meal for 16 people for a church function. He was 12 at the time. He is very accomplished. I am very proud of him.

I have had black forest cake before and of course I will eat anything sweet! I love it all really!

Wow, he should be a chef, should go to chef school, I'm sure he would really excel since he loves it so much. Sounds like a natural given talent he has and that he is passionate about it. But I know that you said he plans on going to medical school, maybe this could be a side thing.
I'm sure you are very proud and I would be too if it was my son!
