For my birthday I ate everything I could get my hands on: an enormous Frappucino for breakfast, a cider donut, chiles rellenos for lunch from La Veracruzana:

Then a penuche sundae from Herrell's. I was getting pretty full at this point, but that didn't stop me from having a late day snack of Flaming Hot Cheetos and a glass of rose (a classic combination). The main event, dinner, was easy to prepare since it was basically ingredient-driven (unusual in our house): lobster rolls (in proper split top buns), lots of tomato-mozzarella salad and fresh corn. Carter had a lot of fun helping me break down the lobsters, but sadly, our two little guys only produced enough for two generous lobster rolls. Jason had to have leftovers instead (but I saved him a bite).

For dessert I had planned a S'Mores cake, but it seemed so large and time consuming that I changed my mind and made something called a "Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake" from Sally's Baking Addiction. This was much easier: a cross between a cookie and a cake (duh), with fancy bits of American buttercream.

By then I felt pretty damn stuffed, so I let Jason wash all the dishes while I just lay on the couch.
