Today
is my favorite day of the year. As a single woman, there are very few days to
celebrate just me. I love celebrating my birthday. Whether it’s going out for
fried chicken and beer with a few friends, to going out to dinner and a movie
with just myself, I always find a way to make my birthday fun for me. Despite a recent setback, I am still going to make the most of it. Today I
am heading on a plane to Los Angeles to escape the heat and humidity of Chicago (never
thought I would say that). I’m going for a press trip for dineLA, but I am also
going to squeeze in as much time with friends as possible. It will be weird to
be a tourist in a city I lived in for ten years, but it should be a fun weekend
and I am so excited. For my birthday, I normally bake a cake or cupcakes, but
this year the thought of turning on the oven frankly, scares the crap out of me.
Thankfully, there is ice cream cake, which is fun and easy to assemble and
requires no oven. It has the addictive peanut butter and chocolate combination
and the salty peanuts put it over the top. This recipe comes from Aida
Mollenkamp’s fantastic blog and can be found here.
