Happy Birthday Forest!!

Young people!!

Happy Birthday Forest !!!!!!

That's both appropriate and adorable. Approrable.  How do you find these things?

Thanks guys, I had a good one. I threw a taco party out on the hill with a fantasy-themed drinks bar my girlfriend made and two lemon-strawberry cakes. Some people didn't make it, most noticeably my parents, who are in MN, and my sister, who is being paranoid about Covid.

But anyway, good times. I got a big German kitchen knife for my new kitchen! (There's finally a kitchen in the cabin now, this erection is becoming more and more sophisticated.)

I fully approve the concept of a taco party for a birthday. It all sounds quite creative. If you were given a kitchen knife for a gift I suspect you're the type to make the cakes directly from strawberries and lemons...unheard of these days.

That is good. I got a carving knife for Christmas that everyone is now using to just chop everything!

The cake sounds awesome! Do you have a secret recipe?

No secret! I used this recipe for the cake and frosting: https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/strawberry-lemonade-cake?printview

And then I made the faux-buttercream from this recipe: https://enjoyinglifeeveryday.com/wprm_print/2705

The cake itself came out a tad too dense. Some people like that, but I think it should have been lighter.

throw in half a table spoon of baking soda with your baking powder. You've got enough acid that it should work, but maybe up the lemon juice a bit as well.

Sounds fabulous. I like how you subbed out the heavy cream cheese dressing for a lighter fluffier cream.

I might have to give it a go... who doesn't love strawberry lemonade!

{{ Happy Birthday Forest!!!
Hope you're having a great day with your erection in the woods and that Mother nature hasn't given it a big blow and laid it flat, as she seems fond of your nation at the moment. Keep your birthday cake safe or you'll end up with cream everywhere! All the best! }}

yay Happy Birthday Forest

Happy birthday!!!

Happy birthday, Forest! 

Thanks everyone!
I've been away from Forumshire lately so I missed the messages.

I baked a four layer carrot cake this year with standard butter and cream cheese frosting and some candied carrot slices on top. And then for dinner, as I was feeling lazy after throwing a house-warming party last fall, I got a bunch of sausages from the market nearby in Corralitos and had a bonfire outside for roasting.

Hm.. I was supposed to take a video of the finished house, but now there's still party mess outside so it's not quite ready for that.

I've still only had one birthday party on which I had a girlfriend at the time, as I broke up with my ex a few months after that one in 2021.

I do miss the company something dreadful.

Oh, but the house is finished! That's some news.

{{ House what house? I thought he was getting his erection up in the woods like a normal healthy lad? }}

Uhm yes, erection I meant! A video of the erection, yep
