I have absolutely no desire to cook my own birthday dinner since, IMO,
it ceases to be a treat. Although I will admit to cooking special meals
(other than for my birthday) simply because I like what I cook. The
only exception is my own birthday dessert (apart from the one I have at
the restaurant), which is either a Black Forest Cake or one of my
favorite pies. Reason? I can make it better.
