i'm back from doylestown and unfortunately this means i'm also back at work. but tomorrow is my birthday! even though it's my 21st, i'm keeping things low-key. partially because i'm sort of a grandma and partially because some of the people i most want to celebrate with aren't 21 yet. my birthday weekend will include:
- birthday tacos
- dinner at skewers in dupont
- cake, lots of cake
- maybe with a side of homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream (with home grown mint!)
- hopefully some stuffed french toast
yes, i love food.
and if the above list is not enough evidence that i love food, also note that i managed to talk michael into giving me my birthday present early and it was two cookbooks (because i honestly can never have too many). one was a vegetarian cookbook he bought for me in belgium (yes, it is all in french, but the dishes look delicious!) and the other was this little book that i've been drooling over:
like everyone else in the blogosphere, i think macarons are unbearably adorable and i secretly dream of baking them. but they are rumored to be one of the toughest baked goods to make. michael said he hoped this book would help me take that leap. i think he just wants me to make him some macarons.
you can surely expect some photos from my birthday weekend and maybe the recipe for my new favorite drink, if i can get it from michael's mom!
