jayThis evening patgreene and the kids celebrated my birthday, nearly two weeks late. I had been a bit down, having received no cards or notes from my parents or siblings for the first time. But I cheered up quickly... Pat made an intense chocolate cake, too rich for Kevin. Seven 71% large Valrhona bars went into the ganache frosting.
Here's the cake, fully lit (the frosting began to melt from the heat ).
It was just immediate family, not a social event. I got two new dress shirts, and a belt from Pat, new micro-headphones and a game likewise, the RHPS soundtrack from David and Kevin, a combination key chain/toolset from SD at work, and Pink's "Missundaztood" album from James.
