Happy birthday at my happy place, Slappy Cakes Portland. I usually manage to wrangle a kid or two for make-your-own pancakes, but this year I’m solo.
@darius It's the restaurant equivalent of a great kids movie that offers lots of fun for adults too. Their non-pancake food is great and so are their Bloody Marys. And there is always a seat at the bar.
@hollyhoneychurch Haha! Birthday bumps used to be brutal when I was in school. We had them supplemented with kicks to the bottom as well. Birthdays were painful. @macgenie
@pratik Yes, and there were always extras (“One more for good luck! One more for…”).
With no schoolyard to endure, I was thankful for a summer birthday!
@macgenie happy belated birthday Jean! I hope it was a good one. The LaCour family discovered Slappy Cakes in Maui this year, and it became an all time favorite! Jealous that you have one up in Portland 😀
@Bruce They clamored for their share of the indulgences being enjoyed today, and definitely wound up with extra parsley and cucumber. 🎉
@macgenie It's probably over by the time that this arrives, but Happy Birthday 🎂
@macgenie 😃 they were best done when you were about five. Because back then everything like that was quite fun (unless you were in @pratik 's circle of friends 🤣).
@macgenie you lie on the floor. Someone holds your arm or leg. Then you get lifted off the ground/bumped the same number of times as your age. Fun when you're five. Different when you're in double digits!
@hollyhoneychurch 🚨Gender Binary Alert!🚨 Folks of all genders should feel free to smash cake in the birthday celebrants faces! 😃🎂 //@pratik @macgenie
@hollyhoneychurch It t’would be a hard decision, but I think I’d go with red velvet for face smashing. 😁
@smokey That was the one I was trying to think of!
There was also the nasty “And a pinch to grow an inch!”
