I have been avoiding desserts in order to shed the remaining pregnancy pounds, so I thought long and hard about what would be worth the caloric indulgence as a birthday dessert. ;) I decided to make tiramisu since it's one of my favorite desserts and I have never made it from scratch before. I used the Pioneer Woman's recipe and it was delicious -- SO rich and flavorful. Yum. That's a once-a-year treat.

Happy birthday to me
Yesterday I turned 27 and we had a lovely birthday dinner in the evening. My mom set a beautiful table with vintage china, pink linens, and a rose bouquet. I love this vintage salt and pepper shaker which belonged to my Great-Grandma Irene. You have to take the strawberry off its hook, and then the salt or pepper comes out of holes in the silver leaves.

Happy birthday! I agree with Luci, the salt and pepper shakers are great - so unique.
ReplyDeleteI think a birthday has to be an excuse to have a dessert - I've been dieting since Christmas and not having any desserts except fruit, but you *have* to indulge on your birthday ;-)
Happy Birthday! (We have the same birthday! I turned 17 yesterday. :)
ReplyDeleteThose salt and pepper shakers are so pretty! And your birthday dessert sounds delicious. Mmmm. I had Mocha Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, also a once a year treat. :)
