It doesn't have quite the same ring as sixteen candles, but then again, "birthday pie" doesn't have quite the same ring as "birthday cake," and I was still perfectly happy to eat it.   smile  Dear friends, the rumors are true.  I am 38 today. 

I am also still feeling a bit quiet, but I suspect that this has less to do with any new Existentialism Virii, and more to do with woolgathering, quiet mind that precedes a flurry of activity.  As birthdays go, it was definitely a quiet one, filled with catching up on some long-unanswered email, watching the Gilmore Girls Season One dvd box set that the lovely and brilliant Lloyd gave me for my birthday present, washing out a few zillion mason jars to prepare for this weekend's ExpoFestO'Rama of paradise jelly, and spending an hour in a hot bath, emerging blackcurrant-scented and covered from neck to knees in sky-blue glitter.  It was also a day for discovering that we did not have bread for the making of turkey sandwiches, and correcting this oversight by starting a batch of pumpkin brioche.  Will more be revealed in time?  Oh, absolutely.

Until that time, though, let me say what I should have said yesterday:  I am blessed, lucky, so thankful to and for everyone who has visited this silly little pink and yellow page, old friends, new friends and friends from points between.  I should have told you weeks, months, years ago just how much fun I am having with you.  I simply must redress this.  Stick with me, kids, and we'll go places, I promise.  smile

Happy Birthday, o Goddess of Astoria and Queen of Yeasty Goodness.  I adorned my home altar to The Bakerina with cupcakes in celebration of Your Day.

I remain,
Your admiring fan,
And slave to your word,

Fair Bake, our Bunni told me the wrong date..grr. However, happy birthday!!! Sorry for the belatedness. I hope to see you soon, and may all be well. Cheers!

Very happy birthday, Bakerina dear--I keep having this strange feeling we are old old friends, given the number of obsessions we share (ok, baking...and greenmarket porn photos...and Laurie Colwin...but tapioca? and the smell of quinces? and...WILBUR BUDS??) Given our precise decade-sized age difference (don’t worry, I’ve got one on you), I’m afraid “separated at birth” is impossible. Guess I’ll settle for cyber-sibling. Here’s a little birthday present, if by chance you’ve never tried it: Put a tiny bit of maple syrup (real, natch) instead of vanilla into whipped cream, then serve on apple or pumpkin pie or the like! This was from my Shaker cookbook and is ‘simply’ amazing.

Happy Birthday!

That’s the juiciest painting I’ve ever seen (I know you think it’s a photograph)I hope your birthday is as delicious.

Happy birthday! I can’t think of any better timing than to get to have leftover turkey sandwiches for a birthday lunch.

jodi on 11/26/05 at 10:36 PM  

Happy Birthday.

Speaking of going places, may I recommend west?

(I guess it’s almost all west from where you are.)

Cheers,
‘mouse

Happy day-after-birthday to you, etc., etc.

I showed up at the right time to heartily second ‘mouse’s recommendation… west, and west some more, and then a little north while you’re at it. We have a glorious coast out here.

Happy B-day Dear Bakerina…

I made some raspberry mango jam in your honor.

Grommie on 11/27/05 at 09:15 PM  

How in the hell did I miss this one?

Happy birthday, O kitchen goddess!  There must be a reason your birthday falls so close to Thanksgiving…

Elisson on 11/28/05 at 02:35 PM  

Happy birthday, dear girl.  Looking forward to a birthday soiree—name the place!

Julie on 11/28/05 at 07:17 PM

limine on 11/29/05 at 05:59 PM  

Odds my bodkins, but you are all such sweethearts.  Thank you, everyone, for your birthday wishes and your headswelling words of praise and encouragement. You know that this means that next year I’m going to have to rent a really, really big hall so that we can all eat cake together?  smile

Fate errori. Io propongo di discuterne. Scrivere a me in PM.

Really important issue of college students’ life time is to get an academic success and to do that, they have to present the comparison essay writing of great quality. Moreover, the essay writing services can help to reach the aim very fast.

Resources like the one you mentioned here will be very useful to me! I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful
