For Tod's birthday, Anna makes and documents his favorite cake: banana cream pie. (It's a birthday cake, so the pie is a cake.) What's your favorite birthday food?
Nothing like hanging from a rope to bring clarity. Enjoy your aerial fun, Anna.
Glad you're getting into the groove at work, too. 👍
Favorite birthday food? That used to be gingerbread cake with vanilla frosting. However, too many such treats, and I'm dealing with the "Big D." So, dietary restrictions have prevented my enjoyment. 🤷♂️ It's no loss; I figure I've eaten enough gingerbread for five lifetimes. 🙂 For the rest of the meal, I'm easy. I don't make a big deal of my birthday for the past few decades, anyway. You see, I was born on April Fools Day, which can be very uncomfortable when family think they have a sense of humor.
"We forgot your birthday."
"We hid your presents. Go find them."
So I make my birthday about others now. "What would you like to eat, honey?" 🙂
Currently, it's picking a nice restaurant, like Japanese hibachi beef, or Chinese food (both lower carb than my old favorite, smothered green chili burritos - Mexican food).
When the kids were younger, because there were five and we were frugal (a nice way to say poor in money) they got to choose, cake and ice cream or a movie (there was a $1.50 a person theater nearby). As they got older, they could choose dinner out of their choice or a movie (movies got more expensive). So that was the way we celebrated. As the got even older, sometimes they would make the cake from scratch, and go out for the dinner or the movie...talk about getting your cake and eating it too!
