You've got me wondering what my husband and I will choose in ten years to represent our life together now :)This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-74956316422028707012010-03-26T21:01:18.992-05:002010-03-26T21:01:18.992-05:00i also love that you have a symbol that brings you...i also love that you have a symbol that brings you together even if you aren't together. I'm now trying to figure out what my husband and I may have that is similar. I think anything that reminds us of our days running around the reservoir in nyc would be a symbol of our relationship... days of feeling free and peaceful with one another. Not as simple as a curl but still a symbol!<br /><br />Happy birthdays to you!beccahttp://www.dramaformama.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-72504017141857249202010-03-25T20:19:41.208-05:002010-03-25T20:19:41.208-05:00Thanks, Jane! :)Thanks, Jane! :)This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-79227172038446722752010-03-25T19:11:22.442-05:002010-03-25T19:11:22.442-05:00Happy birthday to both of you.

You're such a tease; now I'm dying to hear the story behind this, but I completely understand your sticking to your orders :)<br /><br />Sherlock -- I haven't done the math on the carbs, but I will post the recipe soon. Glad to spread some low-carb happiness! The flour, which is enzyme-treated to make it blood-sugar friendly, is available <a href="http://www6.netrition.com/tova_carbalose_page.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />SuziCate -- the candles were an addition in a moment of whimsy. Once we'd iced the cake, it seemed lacking as something for a birthday. Then we found the candles buried in a cabinet and thought, "Hey, why not?"<br /><br />Kristen -- I'm willing to bet you actually have a symbol and just haven't remembered it yet :). Anything you and your husband take note of or are amused by that isn't necessarily what other people would notice or smile over when you're out and about? I imagine there's a wealth of random objects or images or places or sounds that figure into your history with him. Perhaps from these, something will strike you. (Easier than picking a symbol from scratch -- at least, it would be for me!)<br /><br />Thanks for the birthday wishes.This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-42480989655395509832010-03-24T10:20:00.796-05:002010-03-24T10:20:00.796-05:00Like SuziCate, I love the presence of this symbol ...Like SuziCate, I love the presence of this symbol in your relationship. Ever since your first curlicue post, I have been thinking about what symbol could represent my relationship with Husband.

Cake looks good - any idea how many carbs per slice? I miss cake more than just about anything else! Did you use almond flour by any chance? I'm thinking about getting some of that for the baking that I gave up a little over a year ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-67419802111141773552010-03-24T05:29:59.352-05:002010-03-24T05:29:59.352-05:00Those special things that link us to our favourite...Those special things that link us to our favourite person in the world have such significance. I know exactly what you mean - for us it is any mention of the aurora borealis. I won't say why - I've got to learn to be slightly discreet (yes, I am under orders).<br /><br />The birthday cake looks glorious. You can't find much that is low-fat or low-carb here. It's amazing how slim the French are really - but then they don't stuff themselves (like me)<br /><br />xxFrench Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.com
