But It's My Birthday! / ¡Pero Es Mi Cumpleaños!

SAN GERALDO IS in the kitchen assembling my birthday cake. I always wash up after him and clean the kitchen when he cooks or bakes. But it's my birthday and I shouldn't have to do anything I don't want to. Correct? So, I asked him, "Jerry, you don't expect me to clean up after you on my birthday, do you?"

More to come tomorrow. Until then, I'll be in the kitchen cleaning up! (But wait until you see the cake!)

SAN GERALDO ESTÁ en la cocina preparando mi pastel de cumpleaños. Siempre me aseo y limpio la cocina cuando cocina o hornea. Pero es mi cumpleaños y no debería hacer todo lo que no quiero. ¿Correcto? Entonces, le pregunté, "Jerry, no esperas que lo limpie después de ti en mi cumpleaños, ¿verdad?"

Más por venir mañana. Hasta entonces, ¡estaré en la cocina limpiando! ¡Pero espera hasta que veas el pastel!

      My hands are SO clean. What a disaster in that kitchen. Chocolate and cherry juice in every nook and cranny. And worth every minute of the clean-up.

      I hadn't even realized what bougie meant. Thought it was the company name! Vela is candle in Spanish.

      If you were here, absolutely! The cake needed to stay refrigerated.

  7. Jerry needs to learn the "clean as you go" method of cooking, no?

      Sometimes he does try. But it all finally goes to hell in a hand basket.

      Yeah, 49 IS still young... relatively. I had a friend who, when she hit 40 began counting from 21 again. A thought.

      You saw the cake, so you can understand why I stopped complaining about having to clean up.
