Happy Birthday to my Mum!

Big year for her!

We went to the Still River Cafe for dinner last night- I wish I had ordered the beef entrée rather than the lobster (especially since my mom ended up getting the lobster as well so we didn't have much variety), but it was a beautiful location, the service was lovely and I wouldn't say no if somebody really wanted to take me some time. Connecticut magazine called it the best overall restaurant in the state for 2010, but I'd prefer Bella's or 85 Main any day. The balsamic vinegar at Bella's is out of this world delicious (I have a bottle of it in the cabinet downstairs that I treasure), and I have intense cravings for the wild mushroom ravioli at 85 Main.

I made a citrus bundt cake for Thanksgiving last year that went over real well, and that's what my mom wanted for a birthday cake this year. Ask and ye shall receive! I plan on making a kahlua mocha cake later in the month too. Just because it's the birthday month and a good excuse to try something new!

P.S. I haven't done any tweeking on the full SLR camera straps yet, but did make a wrist strap for point and shoot cameras for my Etsy shop. I like it. I think I might be tweeking that too, but we'll see! That's the update.
