Birthday Dinner

Happy Birthday to my Mum- Big year for her!

We went to the Still River Cafe for dinner last night- I wish I had ordered the beef entrée rather than the lobster (especially since my mom ended up getting the lobster as well so we didn't have much variety), but it was a beautiful location, the service was lovely and I wouldn't say no if somebody really wanted to take me some time. Connecticut magazine called it the best overall restaurant in the state for 2010, but I'd prefer Bella's or 85 Main any day. The balsamic vinegar at Bella's is out of this world delicious (I have a bottle of it in the cabinet downstairs that I treasure), and I have intense cravings for the wild mushroom ravioli at 85 Main.

I made a citrus bundt cake for Thanksgiving last year that went over real well, and that's what my mom wanted for a birthday cake this year. Ask and ye shall receive! I plan on making a kahlua mocha cake later in the month too. Just because it's the birthday month and a good excuse to try something new!

Tonight it sounds like I'll be playing some beer pong- which I love. And so on that note, check out my friend Kate's blog in which she makes amazing creations and shows them off. I should note, this Kate drank lots of beer and ate lots of easy mac kind of foods when we were in college... I am sooooooo impressed with this endeavor of her's, and really think she should start taking cake design classes and become the next ace of cakes! =]

Glad to see a big version of kate's cake. Which is even more amazing in a larger format!

Oh and thanks for making me want copious amounts of food and play beer pong. Dang!
