popcorn cup/cider sorbet... although the bacon would be an awesome snack right now

Make it for sure. My birthday is a month away, and I fully intend to make (a few) birthday cakes... hell, it's MY birthday! i'm thinking one lemon cake, one chocolate cake, and something like a pecan pie or cheesecake

i got really sick last fall, and my darling partner made chicken noodle soup for me. i was completely bedridden, so i didn't eat unless food was prepared and brought to a tray next to the bed. it was pretty bad, but i also felt terrible for making mr. man into my nurse. after lunch (the soup) one day i got violently sick (luckily there was a trash can nearby). we chalked it up to the illness, but it happened the next few times i ate. still, we had no suspicions... presumably i only got sick after eating because that was the only time i had any food to dispel! it wasn't until three days of this that my boyfriend had some of the soup for lunch, and the truth came out. apparently somewhere in the cooking/refrigerating process, the soup had gone very, very bad. he noticed immediately because of the taste, but i was so sick i had no idea the whole time! now i can't eat chicken soup, even when it's cold and i have the sniffles...
