today is my mom's birthday. we're heading out to dinner at a fabulous restaurant that has a gorgeous river view, then we're heading back to my parents' house for birthday cake - chocolate orange ganache tart - and presents. and tomorrow i'm cooking a b-day brunch - biscuits with scrambled eggs, caramelized onions with rosemary and bernaise.
food and birthdays seem to go hand in hand. there's something about delicious food, good conversation, and a well-mixed cocktail that makes any celebration better!
mom's favorite cocktail: gin gimlet
mom's birthday cake: chocolate orange ganache tart
happy, happy, happy birthday, mom!
