971. birthday girl


too many candles
to put on the cake, she settles
for just seven





Today’s my birthday—Happy Birthday to me! 

On your birthday it’s good luck to eat long noodles for a long life. That’s a Chinese custom that I’ve been following every year all my life. It works!  Last night Liz cooked up a tasty dinner of Longevity Noodles and a yummy Lemon Ricotta bundt cake. Tonight I’ll be sure to eat long noodles again.
