Walmart had their corn on sale last weekend for 15 cents a piece so I bought some and cooked it on my birthday. I also made some rice noodles, egg rolls or lumpia, and french bread pizzas.
Some people might say that why on earth would you cook on your birthday? I am a very practical person and I'd rather stay at home, cook a little bit of food and enjoy it with my family. Why pay an expensive meal if you can enjoy your day at home for less! But of course it is the frugal in me that's talking lol.

June 17, 2012:
- I woke up early and made some breakfast.
- Did laundry and folded them before we went to Dad's.
- I made some puto pao and brought it at my FIL's.
- I prepared some food out there, we had pork ribs, egg noodles, corn, and green beans. Ms. Burrito picked the green beans at Dad's garden and cooked it too. I also made some battered fried banana for dessert.

I agree eating out is expensive. Your meal looks delicious. Happy belated birthday.
Yummy food.
It is indeed practical to just cook your own food at home on your birthday with your family celebrating with you. The happiness that you then feel would be so priceless. Visiting from BM here's mine thanks Little World of Fun
Now those are some delicious looking shadows!!
Egg rolls look great.
My son and his family came over for father's day, and he grilled burgers for us all.
Cheers!

I love to eat in too even thought there's plenty of eateries available around us, eating out is only for special occasions.
