So I know I haven't posted in a while, but I thought I might as well post about my absolutely FOOD FILLED birthday!
March 4-My birthday
For breakfast, I made crepe batter the night before and my mom cooked them for me the next morning(by the way, thank you, Mom!) They were delicious! And at some point I'm going to get around to posting the recipe on here so you can try it yourself....
Anyway, I got to school and I was ecstatic to find that the majority of my friends were waiting outside my locker, some with chocolate! I also realized the day before that there was going to be a half day at school on my birthday, HOW LUCKY IS THAT?!?!?!?! And I though t I was going to lunch at one of my favorite french restaurants in Littleton.........Instead of getting that delicious goat cheese and marinated tomato sandwich I was craving, I was kidnapped by my sister, dad, and my sister's friend Sadie. After a nerve- racking drive and terrible attempt to walk across what I'm pretty sure was a parking lot, thank you for my new scabs, Bella and Sadie, I found myself inside a yet-to-be-named-building. That building was the Kitchen Table, a cooking school that I had tried to take classes at the previous Summer, but they wouldn't let me because of my age. So, long story short, I made an awesome meal at this place with all of my friends and it was a complete surprise! We made chocolate mousse, roasted chicken, and Caesar salad(the real stuff). Delish, Delish, Delish(I'll post those recipes as well)! Then, that night, for my birthday dinner, my grandparents hosted a dinner where I chose all of the menu! We had brie en croute, goat cheese rounds, broccoli, twice baked potatoes, and tenderloin. You might be thinking, NO CAKE?!?!?! But not to worry, a few days before I had gone to one of my most favorite restaurants in the world- D Bar(you might remember my most recent post about it, that was the night that I ordered my cake). To order my cake, I just answered a series of questions and volia! a cake that might have been the most beautiful thing I could have ever imagined. It was a round cake, the chocolate cake with manjari frosting that I love so much, covered completely in pink fondant.The decorations were a strand of pearls(fondant), a bunch of purple flowers, scattered throughout the cake(fondant), my name and a great big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"(icing), and finally, the grand finale, an eiffel tower propped up by a ball of black fondant(incase you were wondering, the eiffel tower was made of fondant too).
That was my birthday! In a paragraph.
OH! I almost forgot, the other foodalicious part of my birthday is that I am going to Santa Fe this summer to EAT! Almost all of my favorite restaurants are in Denver and Santa Fe, and I live in Denver, so I thought, why not go to the other place that is home to awesome restaurants that I can't go to all the time!
That's about it! I'll post the recipes for you later!
Yum! Have fun in Santa fe!
