So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

I only got into The Great British Bake-Off part way through, too. Somebody at work commented on it to me, after the 'European' episode where the technical challenge was making a Swedish prinsesstårta, asking me if I had seen it and if this was indeed a typical Swedish recipe. I hadn't, but it is, and I said so. This got me curious enough about the show to see if I could watch that episode on the BBC iPlayer, only to find that the episode was on again on the weekend. So I set my PVR to recorded it, and once I had watched it I was hooked!

I think I saw one or two episodes before that. Those cakes looked very impressive!

I have never baked one myself, and I am not sure I actually know anyone else who has either. They are on sale in every café/patisserie in Sweden, and tend to be the sort of thing you buy from a professional rather than make yourself. One of the key questions when having one, is always how to share the rose!
