MENA themed birthday dinner: camel steak, Lebanese couscous and chickpea salad, basbousa cake (no candles, sorry), and jallab to drink. All recipes from the internet and I do not vouch for their authenticity.
Left plate shows steak cut into strips atop a salad with visible chickpeas, couscous, tomatoes, black olives, and cucumbers.  Right plate shows a small piece of golden brown cake with an almond on top.  In between is an amber beverage with ice and a straw

This has always been one of my favorite picture of our Poirot because it was right after he pooped for the first time in a week. He gave us quite a scare and we were so relieved!
