Today is Mr TNMA's birthday. And I sent him two cards. One from the real me and one from That's Not My Age - sometimes I wonder about this blogging malarkey, first a wrist injury, then the next thing you know I'm borderline schizophrenic. Anyhow. This is one of the well-chosen cards from Hello Lucky, check out the website for a fine selection of gifts and stationery.
Talking of lovely printed things, I've had my eye on this Ros Shiers' illustration for a while. That's not his birthday present though.
And neither is this:
No. Mr That's Not My Age is now the proud owner of the latest Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook, Plenty, and a pestle and mortar. My friend says this is pure self-interest. It's a vegetarian cookbook, I'm a vegetarian. It's a cookbook, Mr TNMA does all the cooking. But I disagree. There are loads of recipes with tomatoes, and I hate tomatoes.
Guardian columnist and café owner, Ottolenghi is a genius by the way. Mr TNMA highly recommends his recipe books. For my birthday, I think the Blog Widower might buy me this fabulous print from self-proclaimed, illustration wizard Mr Bingo:
Got to go, my dinner's on the table!

Haha! I just tweeted that I bought the Ottolenghi cookbook. (Not that one, but maybe I need that one too?)
Happy birthday to Mr TNMA. It was my birthday last week and I got a card from each cat. We're all mad.
Happy birthday to Mr TNMA! XX

You've got him well trained!
Happy Birthday Mr TNMA!!!
I know what you mean about the schizophrenic thing. Referring to myself in the third person can be a bit unnerving - but it's either that or become Hestia full-time - and I don't think my liver can take the strain :-)
I plead total ignorance of this Ottolenghi cookbook. But then, I don't do much in the way of cooking. I'm a sort of heat-things-up kind of person :-)
Cards are beautiful. I covet the butterfly print :-)

Happy Birthday, Mr MTNA!! We send cards from each other, all three cats and the tortoise.
I love Ottolenghi too, always cut out his recipes from the Guardian.
Those cards are stunning and I reckon that poster was made for me, too!
Have fun!

Ahhh, BIG Happy Bitrhday to P - Mr TNMA. Amazingly I was just thinking about you guys the other day and Yotam. So as serendipity is involved here the 4 of us should go to his restaurant. How about it? And how brilliant is it that the guys cook? I love it. Xxxx
Thank you all for your birthday wishes - I've passed them onto Mr TNMA who's spending his birthday evening alone in the front room!
CN - a belated Happy Birthday and I think you need both Ottolenghi cookbooks.
VV - we've got loads of recipes ripped out of The Guardian too. The new book looks so much neater on the kitchen shelf.
F - let's do it. Haven't seen you in ages! x
Oh, I just downloaded some of his recipes (I think it was from the Guardian site) - they look fantastic. Must try soon ...
How lucky your husband cooks! Happy Birthday to him!
Too fun! happy birthday to huby! Will check out some of the recipes!

Do hope that Mr TNMA has had a lovely birthday and many happy cooking days ahead. I love Hello Lucky cards - we sell them at Ma Maison....
I so want this book and I'm not a vegetarian! I love his Guardian recipes.
So Happy Birthday Mr TNMA xx
Happy Birthday a bit late to Mr. TNMA! I hope it was wonderful.
A very belated Happy Birthday to Mr TNMA! All the best people are born in May ;-)
Do you need any guinea pigs for testing out the new recipes?!
Just thought I'd pop in to say that on the strength of your praise, I bought the first Ottolenghi cook book and I must say, it looks fantastic.
I look forward to rustling up something gorgeous from its pages at the weekend!
Thanks :-)
