A family addition, and the ganache...

Not only lizards, but we've now taken to adopting people!
Yesterday was our friend's birthday - he's somehow been adopted into the family - it's true - we aren't sure if he should receive condolences or congratulations!
As such, we had a family dinner for his birthday.
Here he is with an inside out german chocolate cake... which yes, is covered in a ganache. Needless to say, get a couple of guys around a gourmet cake and throw out a word like ganache and suddenly all of the jokes are on you. I've never heard the word ganache used in so many different contexts!
Thanks guys...
Happy Birthday - we wish you many many more, and welcome to the family!
