Tony celebrated another birthday this week and I decided to do something different this year. We both don’t eat cake because it’s so fattening. Tony will sometimes, but I haven’t had a piece of cake in about four years. And every year for the past twenty years I’ve been buying a birthday cake and taking a spoonful, and then throwing it away three or four days later.

And I hate to waste food more than anything in the world. Besides, we both stopped making a big thing out of birthdays a while ago. So this was my alternative.
