Let them Eat Cake

Last week (and the week before), Marcel asked what I’d like for my birthday this year. Since we are trying to save moolah- I told him that I really didn’t want anything, but he hasn’t been having any part of that. Over the years he has given me two charm bracelets– one silver and the other gold. I wear them both, but these days I tend to lean towards the silver.

As for my birthday- I’ll just be happy to have a great day in the company of people who love me, and maybe a little cake. Ok, definitely cake.

Happy Birthday Month to Me!

I can’t believe we are already six days into the month of July and six days into my month long birthday celebration. Today also happens to be the birthday of my best of friends- and I’ve found myself on more than one occasion wishing that I was there to celebrate with her or she here- just like we did back in ’09. Oh the fun we had.

Next Thursday is my ‘day’- and at this point I’m still unsure how we will spend the day- but I do know that it will be a good one. If the weather permits- maybe we’ll go to an island in the North- and have dinner out on a terrace somewhere- otherwise- the sky is the limit really.

Running with Knives

In the midst of my kitchen adventures recently- and most accurately when attempting to cut my baklava before putting it in the oven- I realized that my knives are all in need of blade sharpening. I have attempted it myself- with some success, but for some reason they never seem to stay sharp for long. Do you have a particular method that you use and how does the sharpness factor hold?
