Today’s Anne-Laure’s birthday, so at the last minute we expanded our dinner-for-two to a dinner-for-three. I even managed to put together a cake…

One of my favourite parts about having a large circle of French friends is the endless opportunities for taking the mickey… Seriously, making fun of the French is like shooting fish in a barrel. French military victories, anyone?

If you look carefully, you’ll notice the Frogs on the cake. They’re especially for Anne-Laure.

Call it a guess, but I think she’s wishing for a tall, dark, handsome Gemini. Oh, who are we kidding. Everyone’s tall to Anne-Laure. She’d settle for dark & handsome!
