Menu: April 14th - April 20th

Today is Friday, the 20th. That means it is my friend Dave's birthday. Happy Birthday, Dave! Now, Dave is a really awesome person and friend and I'm actually pretty sure that most of you know at least something about Dave. What could that be, you ask? Let me tell you.

I'm sure some of you have heard of a little website called Amazon. Of those of you who have heard about Amazon, I'm certain a large percentage have purchased something from Amazon. If you've purchased something from Amazon, you may have looked for reviews on your purchase. If, by chance, you happened upon a product page on Amazon that did NOT have a review and you scrolled to the middle of the page then you have seen my friend Dave. Prior to this week, anyway, because I noticed on Wednesday that Dave had disappeared.

If I were with Dave today, I would be baking him a Boston Cream Pie Cake. Instead, I shall just have to settle for wishing him the best birthday he's ever had. Happy Birthday, Dave!!
