It all began with Nigella's corn cakes in bed with real maple syrup--oh, the luxury. You know you're loved when you bite into homemade yumminess like those. And then lunch with a special friend--was that Camembert in the grilled cheese? It was divine goo. And those desserts--Amano chocolate bread pudding and buttermilk panna cotta with huckleberries. Still can't decide which one I liked better. And then he really did it, he actually brought out a plate of appetizers before dinner as I lounged on the couch reading a nonsensical celebrity magazine--appetizers!!!! Crostini with Tartufo cheese enhanced with black truffles and a special, hand-cured salami from Northern Italy. Followed by Mario Batali's Ziti with Tuscan-style Cauliflower and Pecorino. And I never lifted a finger. Not one.And then, my Mom brought over the cutest little Red Velvet cake from the new bakery in town, real French buttercream and all. It was a dreamy 34th. Now if only that wish would come true....
Oh, wait, it did: my own personal chef, chauffeur, nanny and maid for the day.
Not just one,
but two pictures of me blowing out candles.

Happy Birthday, Ann. I hope you enjoyed every moment. You deserve it. I've been thinking about you every day. Hope you're hanging in there.
Happy Birthday Ann! You should be that spoiled just because you are nine months pregnant! :)
Well done on Mark's part!
