What's your "birthday treat" meal of choice?

We always used to go out for a meal on birthdays, but with money as tight as it is these days, it's a lot cheaper to make something tasty together at home. Me, I go for delicious homemade curries! Served up with coconut rice and something light for dessert.
DH likes pasta or pizza...lasagne particularly sends him into orbit. With a good red wine and something chocolatey for dessert, he doesn't ask for more.
What about you?
For my birthday we go to my favorite restaurant in a town a little over an hour away, and we order appetizers and desserts and drinks, all things we usually don't do. That's what makes it feel like a celebration! We're there a long time, since we have so much food to eat, and we talk for a long time. It's not a super expensive restaurant (it's the only vegetarian restaurant within about 2 hours of where I live), but it still feels special.
Hot (soy)milk Cake w/ those canned cherries on top does it for me. And I either want tamales or indian food.
CAKE! I had three this year, 2 carrot cakes and one amazing choclate/pear/fruit cake from the vegan bakery. perfect bday :)
I am definitely making myself a FAT birthday meal. Don't know exactly what it'll consist of... probably something fried and delicious, but I'm definitely going to rock at least 2 different desserts!
I usually make sure i have some raw chocolate or just chocolate... anything i really like.
when i was in australia i used to always eat indian or ethiopian food, they are my favs there.
Here.. i dont know. there is a chinese resturant that is okay. But i usually eat a lot of wheat and it makes me tired since i shouldnt eat it. I hope to do something better this year. Maybe to make eggplant lasange, YUM. Probably anything with eggplants are just awesome!
Ice cream Yum. Actually there is a gelato place here in copenhagen that has chocolate rice milk gelato, it is so nice! I hope i rememeber that!
