Mike is now 28. So, until September, he is only 6 years younger than me. lol From what I can tell, he's had a pretty decent day so far but for a traffic jam on the way to work this morning. But that didn't throw his mood out of whack. I'm waiting for him to come home so that he, Jonathan, and I can go out for Japanese food. We're going to Sakura's on Forest because a student of mine works there on Tuesday nights.
I am currently baking the world's most expensive cheesecakes. I had asked Mike what kind of cake he would like for his birthday and he settled upon vanilla/chocolate cheesecake with meringue icing and white chocolate shavings. Well, the recipe I found in this book at the store is actually for a neopolitan cheesecake that calls for three different liqueurs. I've cut out the strawberry angle and split that liqueur requirement down the middle for the vanilla and chocolate. So, now I actually have alcohol in my house. lol Go figure. They smell good right now. Not sure how the meringue is gonna work but I have a recipe for it. Never had that with a cheesecake but it was the request so he's got it.
I managed to get his gifts wrapped. His main gift is the complete Curious George collection (hard cover). He likes CG so I thought it a good theme. I did include two manga bookmarks for him as well. He has a few small secondary gifts: a Curious George Uno deck and a stuffed Curious George wrapped around a bottle of sake.
Whoops. . .he's home! Gotta run.
