The Big 3-4


Doug celebrated a fairly low-key birthday today. Since I had to work until 7:30 PM we feted him this morning with blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup (thank you Trader Joe) and Cool Whip. We followed that up with a couple cards and gifties (the boys got him a Rubik's Cube! HA!). And then we pigged out on dark chocolate birthday cake. It's just the recipe from the back of the Hershey's cocoa but I make the frosting extra-dark. Ummmm hmmmm. We were a bit sugar-zinged, but it was well worth it! Happy Birthday, Babaloo!

Yes, there's no such thing as "just" the recipe from the back of the Hershey's cocoa box. That's the one Martha uses, if that's any kind of prize, I guess. I love that cake.

Happy Birthday!
