Birthday Celebration

Today may have been the best food day yet! (I've been thinking that when I return my eating habits may be quite changed. In one week I've embraced the idea of how to ONLY eat what is absolutely necessary to stave of hunger.) Today however was a different story. Lunch was fried potatoes and collard greens. No rice, no oil based gravy, rather a green vegetable and crunchy potatoes. Dinner was rice pudding. I don't want to hear anything from you health freaks out there. It's my birthday and if I want to be thankful for the dietary reprive and enjoy the 'bad for me stuff' it's my prerogative!

We went to a movie this evening, Unjau Jaan, a hindi love story that recently was released. Ok, I may not understand the speaking but how hard can it be to follow a traditional love story set in 17th century India? I was right, my version of the storyline was mostly on track. Problem was, I found that out at the intermission of the three hour movie. Avoid Indian movies out of Bollywood if you don't understand the language. It's hard to keep focused for that long.

Still, it was a great treat for the kids and a very different celebration for me.
