So this is pretty much the best thing ever. It’s a cake saw. I randomly stumbled upon it a few months ago and immediately earmarked it for the landlord’s birthday. Happy cake has come and gone, and was made all the more awesome with this nifty little thing.
Happy Birthday, Babiecakes!
Today the youngest of the Smith brood turns 25. Something tells me she who gleefully proclaims “happy halfway to [40, 50, 60, gasp!]” will conveniently overlook her own “halfway to” milestone today. Ah, sisters. They’re good like that, aren’t they?
Happy Birthday Woozie! Here’s to many more years filled with shit-eating grins and rockstar pets. Love you.
This past weekend Renee and I catered a birthday party for one of our friends, Emily. The menu included beet carpaccio with parsley salad and horseradish dill cream, whitefish on rye toast with capers and egg yolks, chicken gribenes and pickled vegetables, matzoh ball soup, Bubbie’s special brisket with potato kugel and balsamic roasted carrots, and nutella bread pudding with bourbon fried bacon and vanilla ice cream. It was fabulously delicious and a ton of fun.

I came home on Wednesday night to a house loaded with treats: Le Dirt Bag, something I’ve had my eye on for awhile and wouldn’t splurge on for myself; pie! a giant cherry pie for me (my favorite) and a mini apple pie for him; two bunches of gorgeous roses that smell delicious; and a glass of orange soda, which is something of an inside joke (I claim to dislike and disdain sodas in my infinite wisdom/health righteousness, yet I’m constantly drinking the landlord’s sodas, even though I refuse to ever pour or order my own). The boy nailed it.
We had pie on birthday eve, birthday morning, and birthday night. Heck, I plan on subsisting on pie for the rest of the week. Num-o!
