it's not a birthday without cake

i started obsessing about pizza, so i tried the pizza parlour (pardon, pizza palace) that i can see from my window. the pepperoni pizza was excellent, and much better than the pizza place a block down (vas' pizza).
(this happened on sunday, and the pizza was eaten on sunday and monday. on tuesday, i went to target, and feeling lazy, bought a digiorno pizza which i suspected i didn't especially like when i had it before. this was true, but pizza is pizza. anyway, i'm not proud.)
what did i eat besides pizza? some sort of chicken/brocolli/onion stirfry with schezwuan sauce that came out pretty well.
made this cake for my birthday, which came out very well, although the pan overflowed in the oven. took it to work, and was mostly eaten up. went over to a coworker's house, as she was also celebrating her birthday. her mom made excellent tacos, a better-than-flan dessert (ie, flan for most intents and purposes), and sangria.
