April 23

Birthdays for people in theater  today -- William Shakespeare was born today in 1564; Shirley Temple Black in 1928.

There's an official Shirley Temple website at http://www.shirleytemple.com/ .

The luncheon suggestion for today from 365 Luncheon Dishes (from 1902) is a paté. Hmm, perhaps one could dine on it while watching a Shirley Temple movie at lunch, and enjoy the leftovers while reading over a favorite play in the afternoon.
