Looks fantastic!
I brought back the spare small crepe pan I had left with my mom, so looking forward to crepes soon. (Not sure I will be able to eat through a cake myself though 
)
Thank you! This was a double recipe with large-ish crepes, because at our casa our eyes are always bigger than our stomaches. You could easily make a smaller cake by using smaller, and fewer, layers.

There’s something about spring that inspires plants and animals of all kinds, including humans, isn’t there!
Unfortunately I have really bad spring pollen allergies, as does my son (who doesn’t have my genes, adopted age 7.) The allergy symptoms have already started big time for both of us even though there are only a few buds out yet. Otherwise, spring would be my favorite season!
We have to wait until May in Boston for green garlic and the local asparagus season is fantastic and vry brief. I can’t wait!

How many layers? I like the tall slice!
Here was 16 layers - my tallest yet!

Curry chicken noodle soup from the massaman curry the other night, plus last week’s bone broth, some fresh broccoli, and Taiwanese knife-cut noodles.
For dessert, a couple of pieces of cardamom-saffron semolina cake.

Depending on which version, I saw scapes at the Chinese stores last week, and the spindly green garlic at the Indian markets.

I made NYT Ginger-Garlic Shrimp with Coconut Milk again. Only change was bok choy instead of spinach. WoL Soy Butter Glazed KOM and pickled veg.

I intended on having a bok choy noodle soup tonight but I had an appointment with my financial advisor this morning so I went to the grocery store next door after to see if they had any in-store specials. I bought a salmon fillet for half price so I cooked it and had half of it for lunch and put the other half in the freezer. They also had some chicken drumsticks on sale for half price so I made them with a mushroom sauce and had them with egg noodles and a caesar salad.

How is the NA lager ?
White Bean Gratin with Tomatoes and Sausage as well as Broccoli Rabe with Garlic and Olive Oil from All About Dinner by Molly Stevens - the gratin is baked in the oven with crumbled Italian sausage, Great Northern beans, onions, garlic, rosemary, diced tomatoes, parsley, panko bread crumbs, red pepper flakes and parmesan. Served with broccoli rabe - first quickly blanched and then pan fried with garlic, red pepper flakes and lemon juice

I thought it was ok but a bit watery. I also got a hazy IPA and a West Coast IPA from the same brewer, hopefully those will be better.

Happy birthday, @ottawaoperadiva! I heartily endorse your idea of multiple birthday desserts.

I really need to make that when we get back home to the cold! Looks scrumptious!
Spent a solid day at the pool, reading & occasionally diving in to cool off. Nice to not be freezing our asses off for a week 
After sipping on my PIC’s martinis, we enjoyed a steak dinner last night: grilled Porterhouse that was a lil more done than we all liked, but the meat was wonderfully smoky and charred,
marinated & grilled portabellas,
roasted asparagus,
and baked taters with TPSTOBASC.
I made a Caesar (smashed anchovies, TPSTOG, mustard, egg, lemon juice, parm, olive oil).
A fancy Cab to go with.
Everything was delicious.
We are spoiled
