There was Yom Kippur, fasting and all, so we celebrated the man's father's birthday earlier. Arranged for an easy quiet dinner at Mandarin Oriental. Sorted out a customized menu right down to the ingredients, in honor of his birthday and to his health. The whole team of staff even sang the birthday song. Very nice.
I'm not big on cakes or candles. But many are, and I suppose there should be tiny slice of cake for the father-in-law. For as long as I've known the family, they're not big on huge whole slabs birthday cakes. We don't do birthday celebrations with the extended family or friends. Not enough humans to eat a 1kg cake. Importantly, nobody likes sugar enough to finish a whole cake or look forward to eat the remainder for the rest of the week. As usual, at this celebration, a tiny complimentary slice of birthday cake was better appreciated and easily shared.
