J is my dearest girlfriend who listens to my every complaint and worry and just relaxes me with her calm voice. She is the godmother of my daughter and believe me I get told off all the time now, which I don't mind at all, well I try not to! Birthday dinners has become like a tradition with us and we try to pick a really nice place we haven't been to before. However, this year with the heat, we felt it might be comfortable if we enjoy a night in, so after putting E to bed we had a party of our own, mostly talking nonstop. J loves tennis and a few years ago she nearly lost her eye while playing with her coach. She had to wear an eye patch and refused to go to work like this so she stayed at home. I wanted to make her a tennis cake for her birthday but didn't want to make something literal. So the kitty on the cake with an eye patch is J and I gave her a pink dress as J would never wear this shade of pink, although she loves bright colours. Although J is not a cat lover but E is so cats it is for now!
J loved her cake and more than the cake she loved the dark chocolate ganache which she licked from the bowl. Happy girl on a very happy birthday! For dinner I made some north indian favourites, Chola Bhatura and Aloo Tikki Chaat.
Nothing healthy when it comes to birthdays! I am enjoying these new birthday celebration trends eat in and eat your heart out, end up sleeping on the couch! Life is beautiful anyway you look at it and in any phase x
