Happy birthday to me!

So, a quick recap of my birthday weekend. Thursday night Sara and Jill had a little birthday party for me at 99 John St with Casey, Kristian and Joe. We watched The Office and eat carrot cake with my name on it! I haven't had a cake with my name in icing since I was a kid.

Friday I stayed overnight with Joanne and in the morning we went apple and raspberry picking near Princeton. These apples later became two scrummy pies!

Back in Manhattan that evening, Mike and I dined on steak fried swimming in butter. Sounded good in theory, looked somewhat terrifying in progress, but the proof is in the eating and the steak was D-licious! Chef Michael gets a full four stars. Then it was on to see Mates of State at Irving Plaza. The show was great and I came away with some birthday swag.

Sunday we went to conference at 12, then home to make pies and castle-shaped birthday cakes. We had our first dinner on Jenn Cook's terrace downstairs, with the singing of Happy Birthday and, I swear, fireworks over the river to follow. All for me, of course! With phone calls from family and friends galore the day was complete. I'm a happy girlie!
