I have this friend. She moved to our area about a year and a half ago and became my co worker shortly after. We've became friends in the last year after we ran the 10K together. She had a birthday two weeks ago, and we'd planned a birthday dinner of stuffed peppers, mashed potatoes and red velvet cake.
Unfortunately, it happened to be the same week my dad was in the hospital and my father-in-law was in an out of the hospital and the week after my miscarriage. So we had to reschedule. And this is the first chance we've had.
I came home after work already to start the peppers when I realized, I forgot to put the hamburger out to thaw.
Crap, I don't have anything to stuff the peppers with.
No problem, I'll give her a call and order a pizza!
Crap, the pizza place in town only takes cash.
I just spent my last bit of cash on butter at the gas station. And I don't have enough money in my bank account to get cash until pay day.
Well this just keeps getting better.
I was completely unprepared.
I was completely unprepared.
Result, my friend ends up bringing her own frozen pizzas over for the birthday dinner we were throwing her, which we ate off paper plates.
At least I can still make a cake, right!?
In theory, yes. But it turned out like this.

| That cake looks better on the plate than it did in the pan. I couldn't even get it onto my cake stand. |
It tasted great, but we termed it, the ugly cake.
On second thought, maybe it's a good thing the stuffed peppers were missing the hamburger. They probably would have turned out horrible too.
At least I have adorable kids that distracted us all and provided great entertainment! Perhaps I'll write more about that later.
Happy Belated Birthday Friend!
