It’s my birthday and I am blogging as a 33 year old woman who has had her fill of cake today. I planned my birthday celebrations around food (and family) and I declare this a very successful birthday indeed!
Lunch was spent at the Green Gateau in Lincoln because they have, hands-down, the best roasted red pepper soup I’ve ever put in my mouth. It is divine. Dessert, a slice of apricot torte, was a winner as well. But I went for the soup—and the company, my folks!—and left a happy birthday girl.
Dinner was centered around dessert. Tonight the fam met up with my mother and father-in-law at Granite City because the restaurant serves a chocolate cake that is out of this world. It’s got a million layers of chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, all set on a layer of whipped cream with—this is best part—a rich butter whiskey sauce you pour over the top. Oh goodness gracious. Happy birthday indeed.
Thanks to my sweet family for loving me so much they indulge my gastronomical whims. I love you guys!

Happy Birthday! Every meal should be centered around dessert, in my opinion! Glad you got to enjoy lots of cake today!
