Birthday parties

A birthday is only one day, but I have been celebrating mine the entire month. After I got back from my indigo extraction trip, I had birthday dinners with my neighbors on both the second and third floors. Then I hosted my own party with my attempt at cooking Indian/Bangla food. It was fine except for the lady's finger that was too spicy for Bangladeshis to eat. Then I made a fabulous chocolate cake for tea with my office. While I was in Dhaka last weekend, my friends and I had a party at an Indian restaurant. They brought another great cake, and I enjoyed feeding everyone cake as is the Bangladeshi tradition.

Yeah, I didn't realize how intense I was about the cake until I saw the pictures.
