The Birthday Girl's Prerogative

Rule # 5: On birthdays, the celebrant may choose to have dessert first.

Except on her 7th birthday, Anna decided that she would rather enjoy her celebratory dessert in its traditional place.  Chelsea's Cookshop candy bar was so worth the wait: devil's food cake, gianduja crunch, praline ganache, frozen peanut nougate, all lovingly dipped in a chocolate shell.

Then again, Anna got a second bite at the proverbial apple...in the form of a desserty breakfast or a breakfasty dessert.  On the day after her birthday, we brunched at Isabella's on Columbus Ave.  I'm not sure which rule this falls under, but the menu featured waffles with vanilla ice cream and raspberry mousse.  So, she got it and we all tasted it and all was right with the world.  Happy birthday, Anna!
