<p>I dunno, but I just watched “Steel Magnolias” with my friends and I was thinking about it. XD</p>
<p>I’ll have to drag the recipe out of my mom. Will PM it if I can get ahold of it. :)</p>
<p>There’s Ghirardelli in the cake AND the frosting…makes the frosting taste like fudge. ^_^</p>
<p>Yum!
I’m an unrepentant chocoholic, an addict in every sense of the word!</p>
<p>Lucky for me, dark choc is low-carb & even has some health benefits from what I’ve read recently. Thank you God! (I think that’s a first - that something that tastes good might actually be good for you!).</p>
<p>Bz–no cake yet, actual birthday is still over a week away.</p>
<p>Funny thing about cakes–we always do a group trip to Cape May the same week that my b-day falls–with extended family. I have twin neices who share my b-day, which is lots of fun. but, their mom is great about getting cakes, whilst my family, how shall we say? Means well. So there is always cake on my birthday, and about a third of the time, it actually might be mine! :)</p>
<p>Happy birthday, Garland. Being on the other side of 50 isn’t so bad. I’m also a Jerseyan now but grew up on the Island. I worked at the Jones Beach Theatre during my college summers…it has been a long time since I thought of it! I became engaged in the parking lot at Zach’s Bay.</p>
<p>Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate Truffle Cake</p>
<p>I just googled and found this flourless cake, winner of the “Is your Dessert Intense Enough?” contest! Looks wonderful.</p>
<p>Wow, this brings back memories. I used to work under the “big top” at Jones Beach Theatre many summers ago, before they started using it for band performances.
Back then, there would be one musical that played all summer long and after the show Guy Lombardo and his band would play as people danced.<br>
It was a great summer job for a college student, days at the beach followed by nights waitressing at the theatre.
Those were the days…</p>
<p>Garland - what an awesome birthday gift!</p>
<p>(I am starting to feel badly that all I did for my husband was order tickets to hear Ed Koch speak at the 92nd Y and stick them in his birthday card…granted it wasn’t a “big” birthday, but still. I will be checking out concerts at the Jones Beach Amphitheater for next year.) :o</p>
<p>Have a wonderful birthday!</p>
<p>^No worries, elleneast–this was all the kids’ doing! (H is good with presents, in an erratic, means well and I know he loves me kind of way. but then, I’m the same.)</p>
