HAPPY BIRDIE DAY, B!!

Today is B's b-day! Above is the slide-show I assembled over the past couple of days, between cooking, snuggling with Edie, trying to keep things calm.

Woke at 7, churned cookies n' cream ice cream, made a yellow sheet cake using a buttermilk recipe that came out weird. Helped clean the house, a short stack of B's friends came over, along with her family, and a special guest appearance from the HVS. Edie got into her lap and slept like a peaceful lil' kitten.

BREAKFAST: 9:15am, cake, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Made 2 layers, but the cake was off. Nice and moist, but overcooked on the bottom and under risen -- I think my baking powder or baking sodas are dead. I tried to depan one, and it crumbled, which is for the best -- less icky cake for people to eat. Good thing the ice cream seems to have worked out...

LUNCH: 2pm, asparagus risotto, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 3pm, buttercream frosted cake, ice cream, half glass prosecco, almond cookie, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

DINNER: 10pm, homemade pasta with oil, butter, garlic, salt & white wine, gatorade, water, ice cream, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
