Happy Birthday Ames!

So today is Amy's birthday, which means there is cake. Two cakes in fact, the angle food cake with atomic pink icing I baked last night and a backup cake (incase the angle food didn't turn out) I picked up today at lunch. Transporting a cake in a car without air conditioning during the 100-degree heat of the day is a challenge. Fortunately it was only a short drive over to the Bluebonnet Bakery over on camp Bowie in the Arts District. They have good stuff, including the white cake with retro 60s-style pink, orange and green daisies on it that caught my eye.

To celebrate, we went to dinner at Reata, the famous downtown Fort Worth restaurant. Strangely, though I live and work just blocks away from it, this was the first time either of us had been there for dinner. I had the double cut porkchop and Amy had one of the specials that included both steak and some sort of fish with tons of veggies. The food was spectacular and the service was great. Afterwards we came home for the cake buffet and watched a bunch of Futurama on DVD. Not too bad for having a birthday on a school night.
