It was a delicious cake! (If I do say so myself) More delicious, however, was the occasion. Happy 31st birthday Jody!
When I was living in France, i discovered the true JOY in eating with, no dining with, friends. I think on the list of things I like to do, which is a long, meandering, and definitely fantabulous list, joining my friends in an evening of food, wine, and fun is definitely number 1.
If you know someone who needs a good place to eat, a happy, fun, joyous occasion to eat, with or without reason, intorduce them to me. Chances are that within 15 minutes I will have invited them to dinner. Or several dinners.
That said, I also love dessert. i am not so much of a cake fan, but it was Jody's birthday, and as per family tradition, she reuqested anything but chocolate (ALWAYS my favorite), so I decided on raspberry lemon. I should mention that the weekend before, I was the proud recipient of #1 A STERLING SILVER CAKE KNIFE AND SERVER; #2 A PUNCH BOWL WITH CUPS AND LADLE; and #3 A CAKE STAND.
Oh, if I wasn't Mrs. Always ready to party before, I am now. So I made the cake.
I put it on the cake stand.
We ate it.
We drank.
We were merry.
It was a beautiful thing.
