...What I Ate in a Day...On my Birthday...

...y'all know that birthdays here usually spread themselves out over several days... ...in the week before my birthday...I received several cards...and the package from my sweet Sissie that I already posted/reviewed... ...on my actual birthday...I got a couple of electronic cards... ...those are very sweet too...especially when I was chatting with my Mom and she said my Big Brother asked for a photo of us as children to attach to the card...so sweet... ...and a box of flowers arrived...from Our Airman... ...purple of course...in an adorable little square vase... ...and such a sweet little note on the card... ...so...on to the food...I usually freeze our homemade bread...and get it out a slice at a time...and this is how I defrost it...I put it in a baggie and then float it over some warm water...it only takes a couple of minutes to defrost... ...we had gotten an avocado on Saturday...that was just about perfectly ripe...if you ignore that one little brown spot...haha... ...if I'm toasting the bread like this...I usually don't even bother to defrost it...I just put it into the toaster frozen... ...and I do love avocado toast...so that was "first breakfast"... ...and..."Second Breakfast"...was an everything bagel and some of the homemade tofu/almond cream cheese...and tea... ...Lunch was a vegan B.L.T...using another one of those delicious homegrown tomatoes... ...and I had some potato salad, veg baked beans and a little bit of sauerkraut...I didn't finish my juice when I took my vitamins this morning so that was on the tray too...we watched the news as we ate our lunch...which has been pretty typical lately... ...for an afternoon snack...I finished off the cherries... ...and my only contribution to dinner was to make Nanny's Mexican Cornbread......the Man had made this delicious bean stew/chili...not sure what to call it really...he said he mostly followed this recipe from The Spruce Eats...subbing black beans for the kidney beans... ...it was delicious...and we had fresh corn on the cob with it...and the cornbread...of course...it was a perfect birthday dinner... ...and then he also made my birthday cake...chocolate cake with chocolate icing is my favorite...this one is the Adonis Cake... ...iced with the tofu icing from that same recipe... ...and topped with a candle... ...lit... ...and this was supposed to be a photo of me blowing out the candle...just missed it... ...the cake was perfectly delicious as well... ...and a perfect sweet ending to my full day of birthday eats...

...what did you eat yesterday?...

~Have a lovely day!
