It’s that time of year again: Time to Annoy Tim.
See, Tim’s birthday is Thursday, and he hates too much attention so obviously his friends and I are scheming to horrify him with a big birthday display at the bar.
We’re leaning toward a big beer tower like this.*

But with Sierra Nevadas…
and less Mardi Gras beads.
Our friend, Bobby, requested I make the whole thing totally over the top, so naturally I ordered grosgrain ribbons and plastic puppies of all kinds to adorn the tower of Sierra.
Tim loves dogs, so I thought some plastic pups would be perfect.

He did give me these wine doggies, after all….
I’m also working on dessert ideas. I’m leaning toward ice cream sandwiches with his favorite Heath bar and coffee ice cream in the middle.
This recipe for the chocolate cookie is the front runner for the cookie part right now.
I’ll get back to you with updates when it all comes together.
