Well it's been a good week for me I must admit. I'm sort of light on the work load (for now) which is well deserved after a brutal couple of weeks there. As of today Kyle has officially wrapped up classes! Finals are still looming for the first week of May so he's got some studying ahead but it's goodbye to Year One at Wharton-Land. HALLELUJAH! I can hear the angels singing. And that popping noise is me ferociously drop-kicking this academic year into the soon-to-be very distant past.
Today is also a very special day because it is my dear husband's BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! Last night Kyle went up to NY to see his brother, Phillip, who was in town for work. They went to The Old Homestead restaurant for a celebratory dinner where Kyle had a Kobe Beef Burger. I'm sure everyone has heard Kyle talk about the legendary Kobe beef he had in China (I believe it was??). Yes, he indulged quite well for his birthday. I, on the other hand, ate cereal for dinner and then, with a big heart and grand intentions, attempted to make an angel food cake (Kyle's favorite) from scratch . Oh, what a miserable mess. I 'm not sure where it all went wrong but it turned out to be the densest, most flattest angel food cake ever. As I peered in the oven I was expecting it to rise and get all fluffy at some point.....that never happened and I retrieved a ridiculous-looking cake from the oven....the tiniest thing you've ever seen. The recipe called for a strawberry cream filling which I made but apparently since my cake was in miniature, I had about 4 times more filling than my little cake could hold. Yet another kitchen disaster. We'll taste test it tonight but my expectations are in the gutter.
Our friends Dee & Chris are coming into town for the weekend. We visited them when we went to Newport, RI last month and now it's their turn to visit us. So much for keeping the cake humiliation between me and Kyle, now I have to share it with others!
I had problems posting the pictures in this blog so see the pictures on the blog below. The severely retarded cake measures 7" across and about 1" tall....that's a matchbook in the first picture, for reference....

Those kobe beef burgers were very tasty--the best burger i have ever had. I am sensing some bitternness from the blog that you had to eat cereal on the night Kyle & I were eating 20 oz. of ground kobe beef. you should have joined us!
