birthday

[redbird]

We celebrated cattitude's birthday with excellent sushi and homemade birthday cake. The sushi was from Cafe Sushi (which delivers through DoorDash) and hence a bit of a splurge. I got one of the nigiri assortments, which was as good as I'd expected, and a negihama roll (yellowtail and scallion). Cattitude had chirashi, and adrian_turtle had seaweed salad and a couple of rolls, and we ordered more maki to share. In practice, we shared all the maki, except that I didn't eat any of the spicy salmon roll. I did eat two pieces of the special tuna roll, which had quite a bit of wasabi, and maybe a bit of hot pepper.

There was slightly more sushi than we had room for, not and leave room for even small portions of chocolate cake, but only slightly. The food was excellent, as was the company. I was pleased that Adrian and Cattitude both wanted seconds of the chocolate cake. I don't expect to finish the cake while it's still fresh, and will probably make half as much next time (it calls for two eggs, so that's an easy recipe to halve.)

Oh goodness! Please tell him I hope the candles on his cake burned like cities in his wake! *cheers*

You could maybe use the spare cake to make something like a trifle?

Leftover cake can also be frozen, if one wants it to keep longer. (Especially easy, as this cake has no frosting.)
