Actually, Annie's birthday was almost a month ago, but I have not posted until now as we were away in Indonesia and Borneo. We had cake! Annie requested ice cream cake, which is appropriate in Dubai because it is almost 5200 degrees outside (nearly the surface temperature of the sun). So i went on a quest for ice cream cake, and seeing as its dubai, i wanted diamond studded gold ice cream cake covered in diamonds and gold with solid gold diamonds. They were sold out of diamond flavoured ice-cream, but i did find these badass gourmet ice-cream cakes from French bakery. A bit engaging getting them back to the villa . . . I wasn't jokingabout the temperature. French bakery has a system going though. They essentially made giant portable freezers for each cake. I cooked dinner as well, blue cheese grilled rump steaks. There were 7 of us, it was an international affair. Each of us from a different country, myself American, Annie Canadian, Iain British, Lou Kiwi, Gleb Latvian, Chrystelle French, and OlfGerman. And nobody bombed anyone! I suppose Gleb did make us drink Balsam, which as far as I'm concerned should be considered a hostile act between nations. Its best redeeming feature is that it makes all other alcohol taste better in comparison. Still, nobody died, and there was cake, which in my book makes for glorious success!
