Another Year Has Passed

I have tried and tried to convince my children that I no longer have birthdays -- that I have chosen to remain young (at least in my mind). But they simply do not listen. Now they tell me that I've got to celebrate another one of those nasty personal holidays today. This may be my punishment for teaching them to think for themselves.

    Thank you all! My son has just made me a butterscotch cheesecake, so it looks like I'll be forced to enjoy this day after all.

    "Butterscotch cheesecake"!

    Er, as you must be in a good mood today, any chance of the recipe?

      Actually, we just did it the easy way. Mixed one package of Jello butterscotch pudding with one package of the no-bake Jello cheesecake, added three cups of milk and poured it into a pie shell after mixing. It may sound weird, but it was really, really good.

    Personally I have a week-long festival for myself, but I agree, celebrate it for the cake! (And celebrate the cake for the frosting!!)

    Happy The-World's-A-Better-Place-Because-You're-In-It Day, Ted!
