So glad it turned out well. That old Betty Crocker cookbook has always been my go-to cookbook. It's so reliable - everything always turns out good, and it's a great way for beginner cooks to learn. I've been using it for over 50 years, so I'm no beginner, but it's still the first one I grab. Anyway, sounds like your husband had a happy birthday!
