Birthdays

To all those of you with summer birthdays, happy birthday! To that certain family of five, all with summer birthdays, I have a package sitting on my desk waiting to be shipped to you. I promise I'll make it to the post office before the summer is over.

It's my birthday today, officially and all. Brad's was last Wednesday. We don't usually do much. Getting old and all. Brad asked me for a Tres Leche cake. We've been eating a piece every night. We've got one more piece to go. We ran out of the whipped cream last night, though, and I didn't have any heavy cream to make anymore. But it was still good. Brad likes for me to make his birthday dinner, so I made Chicken Alfredo pizza with homemade alfredo sauce and plenty of garlic.

I like to go out for dinner to celebrate, so I'm still trying to think where we should go. I would love to go to a fancy french restaurant - my favorite, but I'll have the kids with me, so I don't think that'll be a good combo. I've also always wanted to try Spanish tapas, but again, not kid-friendly. Oh well. As long as it's not Mc Donalds, it'll be good, I suppose.

The real question is what kind of cake should I have Brad make me? I told him to wait till next weekend since we've been eating his cake for days. But what???

We watched an episode of Everyday Italian a while back, and Brad drooled over the limoncello cheesecake so much, he actually went out and bought me a new food processor so I could make it for him. It was very yummy.

So then I watched this episode of Nigella Feasts today. It was a chocolate episode. Must have chocolate. So, the most important question...do I go with the chocolate cheesecake or the brownies?

And if I bored you to tears with this post about food...well, it's my birthday. I can do what I want!
