Woo hoo! It's my birthday today. I am 30 years old - that is OLD!

Yesterday I took my mum, dad and Dom to my admissions ceremony to celebrate me finally qualifying as a solicitor in November last year. There was a presentation and a photo op and some nice tea and scones.

Later we had the lamb shanks that I had put in the slow cooker before leaving. They were lovely and tender, but a little bland. I used this recipe and I think it needs some improvement. I served the panna cotta I made on Thursday night for dessert and they were delicious, but could have done with a little less galatin I think - another thing to work on.

I have already been having a lovely birthday, I got some lovely presents and at lunch today we had a lemon birthday cake baked by my mum. Yum yum!

Tonight we are off to Imperial China for a meal with friends and a private karaoke session. I can't wait!


UPDATE: As if all this wasn't enough, I have found out that I won the Envirosax giveaway on LJCFYI! Hooray! What a wicked birthday.
