Day 214. A fairytale birthday

   Today I went to my best friend's place to celebrate my birthday with her:) 

   I didn't get why she was so enthusiastic when telling me how we were going to spend the day. But when I got there... it all made sense:) She had prepared an awesooooome birthday cake for me that I knew nothing about! After 10 years of friendship, I couldn't read her. So I guess she's THAT good:)

   You know how kids react when their mom brings out their birthday cake?:) I felt kinda like that, especially because this year I didn't have a cake at all and I didn't expect to receive one either. It's interesting how our inner child wakes up from time to time and helps us enjoy everything more intensely:)

   In the end, I felt like living in a fairytale because there princesses celebrate their birthday for 3 days in a row. Today it was the second day. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?:)

Day 163. Yummy Saturday

   Today I spent the day with my best friend watching my first Asian tv show (not anime) and baking a cake that looked delicious in a magazine (sponge cake and custard pudding). 

   I didn't know Asian people are SO different from us, the Europeans. I think the Americans are pretty much like us, so maybe Asians are a whole different species with different behaviors and customs. No offence to them, but they can seem too much to handle at first. Then you kinda get used to them and maybe you even like being around them. 

   Regarding our baking session, I realized the photos from the magazines are always better than reality (d'oh, didn't you know that already?), but we had fun while cooking in Bain-Marie and smelling the awesome scent of freshly baked cake. 

   I remembered how cooking new stuff is both exciting and tricky in the same time because the recipe might not speak to you after all, just like trying out new relationships which seem to have potential. Nevertheless, I love experimenting with my best friend! That's what we're best at:)
