Benz Birthday Weekend Cooking Challenge '10

... affectionately called the BBWCC. 

This year's themes: Americana, Italian, and Asian. I'll just let the photos do the talking. 

What would a family get-together be without some family photos???



Stef and the roving helper, J.Bird, prepare the Italian decorations! 
 Mustaches and all!  
Perfecto presentation!



Brief interruption from cooking to enjoy one of our favorite spots, Crater Lake! 

This family photo will have some new additions next year as Elizabeth and Justin welcome a new babe, and Joe finally marries Sara. ;) 
 Stef, Mom, and a seemingly fake background ...
 OK. Back to the kitchen with the master chef--and winner of the '10 Golden Spoon trophy--Nana B. (Big Poppi would be hurt if I didn't mention his fantastic contributions from the grill.)
 We'll just call her the Asian Sensation. 
 Salvaged Chinese New Year decos. 

 No trip is complete without family board games, right???

Can't wait for the next Benz Birthday Weekend Cooking Challenge.
