It's a different kind of taste. You will like the syrup, though, if you try it!<BR/><BR/>Candi, I used 2 teaspoons of vinegar to sour 2 cups of soy milk, and I think it was about right.<BR/><BR/>Teresa, oh yes. Hummus with raw veggies is hard to beat for lunch--it just feels so light and healthy.<BR/><BR/>Midwest Vegan, I can't wait to use my decorating set! I hope you had a good birthday too. :) Let me know!<BR/><BR/>Bazu, thanks for the belated wishes! I like finding out that I share a birthday with other special people--it's just cool!<BR/><BR/>Kati, you're right--homemade cakes are always better, more special!<BR/><BR/>Caty, the syrup was so easy to make and really easy--you should try it!<BR/><BR/>Crystal, thanks! And yes--love is the best gift, because it's the only one that lasts.<BR/><BR/>Kleo, thanks for your kind wishes! And I love it that you like your soup out of a mug too. :)<BR/><BR/>Vicki, thanks! It was a wonderful celebration--the only thing that would have made it better is if it were shark-themed. ;)<BR/><BR/>Johanna, thanks! I hope you and your family are doing well!laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124236356802448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-29885149411004799942007-02-21T08:45:00.000-05:002007-02-21T08:45:00.000-05:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY! what a great day you have!HAPPY BIRTHDAY! what a great day you have!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-65693667663222863392007-02-20T23:26:00.000-05:002007-02-20T23:26:00.000-05:00I love to eat soup out of a mug!

I'm dying to get a decorating set myself, but, like you, I fear that it may tempt me to make more cupcakes than I probably should (especially since I don't have anyone to give them away to!). I really love homemade birthday cakes - and yours was so cute! Who wants a perfect store bought one, anyway? There's no charm in that. It seems that you are blessed with wonderful friends - lucky you! <BR/><BR/>Feliz Navidad! :)Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719655424123453392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-71664600374156490982007-02-20T11:26:00.000-05:002007-02-20T11:26:00.000-05:00happy belated birthday and feliz navidad, Laura!

I love that it was filled with friends land love and fun and surprises. A professional massage? Oh yeah. Chocolate covered espresso beans? Perfection.<BR/>And that cake is so cute. Somehow, the more lopsided and homemade a birthday cake looks, the better.<BR/>Cheers!bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-30879175090676748882007-02-19T20:53:00.000-05:002007-02-19T20:53:00.000-05:00I'm glad you had a great birthday!

The massage sounds wonderful, and Bob is so thoughtful to think of that! <BR/><BR/>The home made cake is classic! You've got such great friends and family!!<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see your pretty cupcakes now that you have a decorating set!! :)<BR/><BR/>The hummus looks great and the gypsy soup is one I have yet to try! Yes, I eat soup out of mugs ALL the time! (Today, in fact!) lol!<BR/><BR/>I had a question on your waffle substitution... the entire recipe and the syrup look SO good that I'd love to try them both, but I don't know how to substitute soy milk + vinegar for the buttermilk. What ratio did you use, if you can remember? I'd hate to over or under vinegar mine! Lol!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you had a great time on your birthday.
