The last few years I’ve had some memorable birthdays, I turned 33 in Nicaragua and sandboarded down an active volcano, at 35 I spent the evening at an event with my friends from Well Preserved and also questioned whether I really wanted children (spoiler alert: turns out I don’t) but this has been one of my favourite birthday.
Thank you to everyone who helped me reach 1000 YouTube subscribers, an ambitious goal that I had set for my birthday and I didn’t think I would achieve it. I’m really excited to share more videos with you this year.
This birthday was relaxing, Chef Rouge was able to take the day off and we spent it on the back deck. He surprised me with flowers and tickets to Fleetwood Mac – a band that people tease me about but I love.
We then went for dinner at Cava, a restaurant featuring small plates from Latin America and Spain – both of which I’m very familiar with so it was nice to try interesting dishes like the supergilda or the pincho of gamay-poached foie gras with rhubarb mostarda.
But my favourite dish was at home, I haven’t had a birthday cake in years and I never really missed it as I don’t care for sweets but Chef Rouge knows I have a disgusting guilty pleasure – Cool Whip. And so he made me a cake with carmelia ganache, nutella and Cool Whip.
It’s been a great day, I think 37 is going to be a great year.
Cool Whip makes everything taste like a treat. I think 37 is going to be a great year for you too! Who knew that you would find happiness right in your own backyard.
Happy birthday 🙂 looks like you had an amazing day
Happy birthday, Ayngelina 🙂
Getting it going with a meal like that, I suspect that 37 will be an exceptional year. All the best!
The cake looks delicious! It sounds like you had anothr fantastic birthday 🙂
It sounds like you had a great 37th birthday!
Awesome place to dine … isn’t great that the T Dot has so much diversity? You could almost not have to travel at all … except, you know, the winter weather… 😛
Happy belated birthday! Oh to be 37 again!
Happy birthday lovely girl. Glad you had a good one! Happy travelling!
I’m late in wishing you a happy birthday. Happy birthday! That cake looks yum!
