On Tuesday, we celebrated my birthday. I meant to tell about it earlier, but somehow it's Friday already. {apologetic smile}
My birthday was very nice, in a quiet sort of way. I like quiet celebrations, so that's good. {Smile}
Breakfast was French Toast with Portuguese sweet bread. Portuguese sweet bread really is bread that tastes sweet, unlike the other "sweet bread" which is no such thing. {Smile}
I opened presents before dinner, with my parents popping in and out to see what I got and get other things done, too. It was their choice. {Smile}
Dinner was chicken piccatta. In our house, that's also called "chicken katsu with caper sauce." You could also replace the veal in vienner schnitzel with chicken, and add a caper sauce. Elsewhere, bread the chicken, fry it, add a caper sauce, and translate. {Smile}
Dessert was chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Of course. I love chocolate too much not to choose that! {REALLY BIG GRIN, wink}

Happy Birthday! I'm so glad you had a nice day, and the food sounds delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. The food was delicious; that's why I chose it. One tradition we have is that on your birthday, you can choose the food within reason. {Smile}

That's a great tradition. I'd probably choose take-out pizza. I'm unimaginative that way. :) (Or ham and mashed potatoes. I absolutely love ham and mashed potatoes. Like I said -unimaginative when it comes to food.)
ReplyDeleteThe idea isn't to be imaginative; not unless that's what you want. It's to give people what they want on their birthdays, however plain or fancy that might be. {Smile}

True. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right on both counts. I don't think mommies are ever ready for their children to start exploring quite as soon as their children are. Mommy kitties should definitely be included in that. {SMILE, wink}
