I've decided to do this by talking about one of my favorite subjects; one that will certainly perk me right up, it is the glorious reason why I ate the super chocolatey, fudge-like cake in the first place. Several more that 25 years ago, He-Man graced the world with his presence. That's right, he and I are now the same age.
He-Man is the light of my life. It would be funny to go back to my 15 year old self and tell me when I met him, "Keep an eye on this one...he's THE keeper!" and ask "Do you really want to go with that other guy to the prom when He-Man asked first?" I'm sure I would have looked cross-eyed at my 30 something year old self and said, "Who, him? He's my best friend and that would be weird. By the way, why are your hips wider and who are those little kids running circles around you?!"
The 1,000 calorie a bite chocolate souffle cake that must be DESTROYED! For his birthday, our amazing family pitched our funds together to give him something he has wanted since we were married...a good set of kitchen knives. I have always hesitated because they are so...so, well, sharp and I happen to be a gigantic klutz. I swallowed that worry and unreasonable fear of every vegetable slicing mishap my colorful but overactive imagination could conjure up and found a great place to buy them. My sister in law steered me to a local family owned shop and I saw exactly what we were looking for. They're a great little company plus I get to help the local economy...yeah! Everyone is happy!
Happy he was! He-Man has shown every guest his new knives and find every reason to use them. He even used the mondo-Chef knife to cut peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He is like a little boy on Christmas morning except the toys are sharper.
Needless to say, I am so proud of my husband for his hard work, dedication and overall person. I'm so lucky that he was magnanimously forgiving to the previously mentioned 15 year old. He is a rock but at the same time, the sweetest, kindest man I have ever met. Some people may think he is all business and straight-faced, but don't let him fool you!
Thank you, He-Man for all you do. You really light up my life and brighten my day! See it worked. I'm not so grumpy anymore!

I'm sorry you were feeling grumpy. I think you are wonderful, your souffle cakes are delectable and that you're absolutely right. You have a very cool husband.
Love you tons.
Happy Birthday Chris. You are lucky to have such a great cook as your wife! I still remember that yummy carrot or pineapple or coconut cake you made us! It was amazing, even though I don't remember what it was.:)
Very sweet and yippie for sharp knives (quality), but do be careful, I have almost lost the tips of my fingers multiple times. It is so fun that you two ended up together!
Man, I wished I lived closer to you so I could soak in your sunshine more often.
By the way, I'd love the recipe to this delectable masterpiece so I can try it. I'm not afraid of GF foods since Josh was on a GF diet not so long ago.
