Birthday

So Brielle decided that, yes, we did infact need to celebrate my birthday.  Since the weekend before my birthday was a long weekend, Brielle decided to make my birthday cake early.  I had told her three different kinds of cake that I liked and thought looked good, and she picked from there.  She made a rollo cake.  It was a tasty cake that tasted like a rollo.  However, she had some adventures in making the cake.  The cake itself was a yellow cake with caramel mixed in.  She made that from scratch, no problem.  She then had to make caramel.  That is were the issues came in.  The first time, the sugar formed rocks.  The second time, the mixing spoon was killed.  The third time, perfection.  I will let the pictures say what I can't about the cake.  It was delicious!

ROLLO CAKE!

Es Good.

It was very rich.  We could only eat small slices.

The casualty of the caramel making.

Bambi also came down to visit.  She had a wedding on Saturday, but spent Friday celebrating my birthday with us.  We went to Islands for dinner.  I had just discovered that there was an Islands restaurant in Vegas. They have really good burgers and fries there, so that is why I chose to go there.  We went to Bed Bath and Beyond after that to finish using up our gift cards from our wedding.  We got some new mixing bowls and I got a new stirring spoon, since my favorite one had bit the dust as you can see in the picture.
