Hey everyone,

I’m one of those weird people who really enjoys my birthday. And since my birthday coincides with my niece Ella’s birthday (she turned seven yesterday, I turned much older the day before), I flew down to Florida for our February fetes. We had a blast — my family sure knows how to celebrate a birthday — and when I got back to New York, Craig took me out to Claud in the East Village where I ate this incredible cake.

The food at Claud was so good that I did something I haven’t done with a restaurant in a long time…. I blogged about it!

Before we get to Florida, some of you may want to know about the trip I’m leading to Puglia this October. Here’s a brand new brochure for the trip that tells you exactly what we’ll be doing:
