Little Miss Birthday Recap!

This just in…Yesterday was Griselda’s birthday, and what an amazing day it was!  It started early, sine I was charged with baking duty, and had to leave enough time for a second round of baking just in case my first cake didn’t pan out…but the cake and the cookie brownie bars came out wonderful were a big hit at the party later one…but I’m getting agead of myself.

We also went to go see the Yale Rep production of Death of a Salesman.  While slow to start on this Saturday Matinee, a strong finish in Act II really moved the audience and finished strong.  When the show got out, it was already 5:20, not enough time to get home to finish the party preparations before our 6PM dinner reservations, so we dropped by Atticus, a small cafe book store, where we found ‘Little Miss Birthday’, a children’s book from a series of books Griselda grew up with…it was a must have…

Dinner at bespoke was excellent, of course.  Service great, food was great all around (G and I can attest for the hangar steak and the monkfish, personally).  Then it was back home for cake, brookies (Brownies+cookies), and ice cream…and a packed house!  I didn’t know 25 people could cram into our apartment!

Fun was had by all!  Thanks everyone who came to celebrate, and all the well wishes on behalf of G.  Pictures to come!
