Birthday

My birthday was a very exciting day, on account of the white smoke coming from Rome. How many people in the world get a pope for their birthday?

I had a tiramisu cake, and it was delicious. It looked really nice, too.

 

Yes. My family ate half a cake in one sitting.

I REALLY like coffee in desserts. Landon has been making ice cream like crazy, and last week he made some coffee flavored for me, so I was able to top my slice of cake with my favorite coffee ice cream.

(By the way, Landon’s ice cream is excellent. He’s able to make it smooth without crunchy ice crystals I tasted in our last attempt at homemade ice cream. Furthermore, his recipe calls for egg yolks which make it luxuriantly creamy. Now after writing that, I’m actually going to have some right now, because it’s Sunday, which means a break from Lent.)

(I have dibs on almost all of the coffee ice cream, because most of the boys don’t like it.)
