As of approximately ten o'clock this morning, I am ServSafe certified. Everyone who eats my food can now rest comfortably knowing that I am aware of food safety regulations.

Also, I have been gently informed that I must blog about my birthday. Last Thursday was my birthday. My friends, Nathan and Amanda, made the trek from Auburn Hills to shower me with cake, magnets, and broken TARDIS mugs. The brokenness of the mugs, I should say, was no fault of theirs. The mugs were shipped improperly and rightly protested such rough treatment. I missed being home for my birthday and being with my family. But Nathan and Amanda are family - generous, loving family that remembers my fondness for tiramisu. It was wonderful to have them here - I am so grateful for them.

This is a delicious tiramisu cake.

I won't specify my age - that would be unlady-like. But if you pay attention to the pictures, you just might be able to figure it out.
