DINING:
Note: for food descriptions, the wording is specific -- "smoked" is not the same as "grilled", and "spicy" is not the same as "hot" in regard to preferences or dislikes. The menu changes, and I don't know the frequency. There may be a specific menu for each day of the week, or it may be a random daily selection. Portia Hot Pot is both Hot and Spicy. If they say they want a particular dish, that takes precedence over their normal likes/dislikes. Use preferences to fill out unspecified portions of the meal. 6 items seems to be optimal, and you may order more than one thing from a section to "add in favorites."Albert: Likes hot and spicy only. Dislikes ice cream.

BIRTHDAYS:
Many birthdays were changed in update 3.70. After checking other plays, it seems to be a consistent change, and not random. I am only including the ones that I have uncovered in v3.71.
All Birthday Gifts are 2x value for remembering their birthday (another good time to splurge).
