helene_t Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 One of my favorite bidding theorists turns 39 today. (Why didn't Phil include him on the list?). Anyway, time to describe the recipee for the original Danish Xango Birthday Cake: Mix 4 eggs (unless LHO accepts your insufficient bid of 3 eggs) with 40 grams of sugar redoubled (makes 160) and stir until it foams. Mix gently with potato flour, spread on three pieces of baking paper making circular shapes (you need to solve the circle's quadrature to compute the size of circles, Csaba can help with that) and rush to bake it preemptively (before it collapses). Stack the layers with jam and egg cream between them and decorate with melted chocolate, candied tangerines and wiped cream. When dividing it among the guests, make sure the TD makes a mistake so that everybody gets 60%. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Happy Birthday Ken, when I watch the picture you post, you look slightly older then you are. Maybe an anti aging creme will be a nice present. I hope your next 39 years will be full of humour and fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hey, Ken... Happy Birthday! We disagree more than we agree, in bridge theory, but I enjoy arguing with you..... and now that I know how young you are, I can attribute your 'erroneous thinking' to the exuberance of youth :) B) :P :D :) ... have a good one!

kenrexford Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Just back from visiting San Fran with my wife. Thanks for the HBD's! My wife surprised me this year by agreeing to play in her first NABC with me, all the way across the coubtry in SF. The condition she imposed was that we spent a lot of time seeing the area, an easy one for me to concede. I, however, suggested a reciprocal condition on her part, one that she was equally willing to concede. :D A good time, all around. I'm happy to note that she crossed that magic 25 golds in SF, despite here mere total count of a smidge over 100 total points. We also managed to qualify for the second day of the Mini-Blues. And then there was the Napa wine, the redwoods, the GG Bridge, tacky stores at Fisherman's Wharf, wildly expensive but excellent dining, a great 39th! Of course, I am already planning the 40th in Boston... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
