My mother just celebrated a birthday and so did my daughter. We just happened to all go out to eat on the same night to celebrate. They went to Onami a Japanese restaurant and we went to Peony Bistro, also a Japanese restaurant. We all had our fill of sushi! The only difference is, they are on the west coast and we are on the east. 
While eating, we were discussing how we celebrate almost any occasion with food. I don’t mind, the kids don’t mind and my husband definitely doesn’t mind. The only thing that probably minds is my waistline. Unfortunately, I don’t have the same metabolism as the rest of the family and I can tell almost immediately when I’ve crossed the line. I would never resort to diet pills or anything like that, but I sure need to cut back some the next few weeks just to not compound all the calories I ingested in one weekend. Oh, I forgot I also used the occasion of my daughter’s birthday to do some baking.
