Rob's Birthday Cakes

I'm thirty-nine years old today. After getting pampered first by a trip to the Olympus Spa courtesy of my mom and then by a day out with Melanie and a family dinner prepared by Rob, I spent my actual birthday enjoying a low-key day with the family. And by the way the carrot cake pictured below was every bit as yummy to eat as it was to look at. I did get lots of phone calls from folks near and far. I liked that... Rob gave me exactly the book I wanted - the new edition of Feeding the Whole Family by Cynthia Lair - I'd donated my old edition to my sister Em. So far thirty-nine is remarkably like thirty-eight. And that is all I have for not-so-pithy commentary at this time.
