HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LADY STARBLADE!!!
In the interest of giving our Lounge proprietress the day off, Iāll be tending bar. So everybody just help yourself, because I have a tendency to open bottles and wander off.

Aww, thanks!
Iāve got 10 ovens working with cakes in the back, so I gotta keep an eye on those! The lemon oneās mine, but we should have enough cake to go around.
But NO RED VELVET. This girl has her standards!

Indeed! With homemade cream cheese frosting! (I actually did make this one last month!)
I do! My best friend makes me a lemon chiffon cake every year; I havenāt had a birthday party since I was 21, but she always makes me this cake. Iāll post a pic later.
Thankee, thankee. Iām drinking way too much coffee in celebration.

We buy kombucha from a local place. Just brought some home Saturday, actually - cranberry ginger and strawberry basil. They mostly do fruity stuff. Itās kinda like soda except every glass comes with 50,000,000 new friends for your tummy.

I brewed my own for years and could revive the works at any time; itās all in hibernation. I hung it up for my move in May, and then I developed tendinitis in both elbows and kept it hung up while I recovered.
Itās a pretty substantial undertaking (involving a fair bit of lifting and pouring, hence the hiatus), and, wellā¦ you know how when you give up a discipline, your life expands to fill the space?
I really should pick it back up, though - consuming probiotics on the daily was doing a lot for my overall health. And once you discover how cheap it is to make (literal pennies on the 1-gallon batch), you absolutely canāt stomach paying for it.

Look, if thereās one thing Iāve learned from Great British Bake Off, itās DONāT OPEN THE OVEN until the cakes are done! Patience!
Well, that and make sure the ovenās on in the first place!
