Cake

It's my mum's birthday today - 75 - and I'm making her a devil's food cake. She also requested a curry, but since the spices haven't arrived in the mail yet, I'm making her next favourite, cheese grits with shrimp. She ended up having today off, so she can actually eat her birthday dinner at dinner time and not when she gets home at 11pm.

Happy birthday to your mum! I hope she's still working at 75 because it's what she wants to do.

She's a desk clerk/barrista at an inn. They have an espresso bar in the lobby, so she checks people in and out and makes drinks and sandwiches.

Happy birthday, Miss Ith's Mum! Bless you!

Cheese grits? Yummy. Is she by chance a Southern gal, like myself?

Of course I read all the commentary on the cake before this post as I was scrolling down the flist. I like cake and your birthday preps sound very delish.

Happy 75th to your mom. And I am glad she gets to have her dinner at a proper time.

Catching up after being gone for a couple of days...

Happy birthday, Mum!!!

You have birthdays in the same month! Not even a week apart. Cool :)

Not so much when I was growing up. My grandmother thought it was a waste to have two cakes/parties so close together, so I always had to share my birthday.
