Today is my birthday, and I've been celebrating it, mostly, by cooking. I made a Dutch Babyfor dinner last night. This morning, for breakfast, I made grits, eggs, and home cured back bacon. I didn't make lunch (breakfast was late), but made coconut bars for myself, and stupid bars for Tom.

By the time I'd finished my legally-mandated chores (watering the yard-- honest, we're only allowed to water during a few hours of the week) and enjoyed my breakfast, it was too hot to do anything outside, so there's not a lot to write about. Later, Tom and I are going out for Brazilian churrascuria with a few friends.
