Birthday food

In our family, birthday celebrations go on and on and on ... and always
involve more food than necessary:

Last Sunday, my granddaughter took me to Brasserie Jo for duck confit with
tiny dark lentils and frisee. Is there anything quite so tasty (or quite
so lethal) as duck fat?

This morning, Junior Daughter and I had brunch at the Oak Room at the
Copley Plaza: obligatory mimosas, lobster eggs benedict with "rare"
poached eggs, and Boston cream pie in the form of a cake.

And next Sunday will be the official extravaganza. (If the Queen can
change her birthday celebration on whim, so can I.) Senior Daughter is
hosting a dinner to include my old college roomie and a few of The Girls
at Aujourd'hui at the Four Seasons. Stay tuned..

They may be shortening my life, but I do love having such a family of
enablers.

You go girl! Hope your celebrations span to your next natal celebration!

Woo Hoo! Sure sounds like you're having a good time. I say go for the
gold and don't worry a bit about the fat and alcohol 🙂

Who cares how lethal it is? <veg>

I keep reading that if you are lucky/healthy enough to make it to 80,
you can go on forever. Let's hope so!

Aunt Clara turns 96 tomorrow. DH turns 64.
