Today is Tod's birthday

Today is Tod's birthday (his 33rd, though he swears he's only 31) and we have many festivities planned--mainly involving food.

First up, an American breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast to celebrate and to fortify for the day ahead. Then a cake to be decorated and other birthday surprises to be taken care of. Perhaps we'll take a walk after lunch, or watch a movie. Friends are coming for dinner; they're making lasagne, so I just have to do the appetizers, salad and bread before they arrive.

I think I'll go start the bacon...
