flashback December installment #2
Happy Solstice. Happy Hannukah. Happy 40th Birthday, Mike!
No one would guess that my even, calm husband arrived all blue/emergency C-section.
Today's Flashback December entry was an easy pick. A Mike's birthday entry. It comes from 2004 - while Small Boy was still in belly (and not yet the snotty-nosed, over-tired kid currently screaming and crying as I type this) and my mind was a puppet at the mercy of the cruel Fates of preggo insanity.
I have many memories associated with trying to bake Mike birthday cakes, including locking myself out of the house on the coldest day in Monterey in 10 years and mistaking the ice on the ground for glass (hopeful west coast transplant that I was).
This year's cake memory hasn't happened yet. Isaac and I are going to try out an orange cake with chocolate frosting after nap. As usual, I really don't know how I'm going to pull it off. In the kitchen, I lack confidence and usually most of the ingredients as well.
Anyway, the 2004 entry is called "and eat it too."
Stumble It!

Happy Birthday Mike
orange cake and chocolate sound great, the kitchen will behave - show it who is boss
Why do I not remember this flashback? It seems like one htthat would stick in my mind.
The cake worked out pretty well. We cheated and bought the icing. We also had just a little help from the birthday boy himself. Pictures to follow...
