It is Groundhog's Day in North America, a day of weather prognostication and cranky sleepy rodents.
Apparently everyone saw their shadow.
It is also the day of the anniversary of the birth of my brother, 4 of my other friends (seriously), and my ΓΌber boss.
So I made some celebratory cupcakes. (Cupcakes = 1 batch of Cook's Illustrated Best Recipe chocolate cake (first version in the book), 1 batch of Smitten Kitchen's Double Chocolate Layer Cake adapted from Gourmet March 1999 frosted w/ chocolate ganache.)
