Birthdays

August 19, 2008
My birthday is on Sunday, my Mom's birthday is Friday. I have had so many birthdays now that I don't think too much of it anymore, I wonder how my Mom feels about birthdays.

My cousin Lisa is going to come over, I think that Sonia and Erika will come over too. I found a recipe for Kung Pao Chicken in Fine Cooking. The recipe appears to be pretty easy. I think we can have fun cutting, chopping and saucing. We would have fun making dinner together.

The most important thing to make might be a coconut cake. When I was a kid, we could always have whatever kind of cake we wanted. I always wanted coconut cake from Sander's. The cake was white, it had a lemon filling and a 7 minute frosting smothered with coconut. I haven't had one of those for quite some time... maybe THIS is the year to make one. then again, maybe individual Ding Dongs would be better! We'll see which direction the spirit moves me!
