My coworker, Amanda, turned 25 today. No one in my office ever mentions when their birthdays are. I miss the ritual in my former labs to always acknowledge everyone's birthday, and use it as an excuse to bake something new. Happily, I stumbled upon Amanda's birthdate on Facebook, and promptly decided to whip up this cheesecake for her. Of course, shortly after suggestion to everyone that we take a little sugar break mid-afternoon, a delivery from a North End bakery comes through the door-- 24 cupcakes, courtesy of Amanda's mom. So by the time mid-afternoon came around, we were already plenty full of sugar. Next time, I'll make a coffeecake. That is, if I can ever find out when the next person's birthday is.
