It's also National Brother's Day. Got a good one? Wanted one? Had a crap one? Whatever the case, we're here to have a whole day for them. When is National Sister's day?? (August, apparently)

@Sunspots:
Happy Birthday!
Asparagus is wonderful! I didn’t think I liked it until I was in my 30s. Then I discovered how delightful it is!
Many people overcook asparagus — boil or steam it until it’s mush. Then it is yucky— slimy and ewww. Better bet: clean and trim slim, young asparagus spears, and drop them into just boiled water (enough to cover all the spears), pop the lid on the pot, remove from element, and leave for 5-7 min. Then drain and serve. The spears are cooked to the centre (i.e., hot) but still crisp. If you need to get through the somewhat grassy flavour, add a wee bit of butter, garlic, and a smidge of parm cheese. Or spritz on lemon and sprinkle parm cheese. Or you can do a hollandaise sauce (which I think is a lot of trouble for a relatively mild veggie). Yay National Asparagus Day!

Thanks everyone 
I've had a very chilled day - mainly because I was supposed to be going out with my mum but she forgot
.
So as I was at home on my own I decided to bake myself a birthday cake. I pride myself on my cakes and even sell them locally. But everything about this cake went wrong and each time I tried to rectify it I made it even worse. It now looks totally hysterical and my kids are going to rip me to pieces. But I don't care as I know it will taste good even if it looks like a cow poo

Seriously, I bet it tastes great!
