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.

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 🙂
