Birthday Morning After

Just a quick blog today. We are sitting together on the couch sipping a cup of coffee with the feeling of having had a great time last night. Relaxed and happy.

The neighbors arrived for Michael's birthday party at 5:00 last evening, our friend Don also came from the city then Kimberly and William arrive from their long drive from Seattle. I had made a table full of finger food from very old recipes from the 70’s and 80’s. Michael’s request. It was so much fun to revisit those tastes.

We served: Chicken Sate, Char Sui BBQ Chinese Pork, Marinated Prawns, Ole’s Bolognas, Guacamole and Salsa and Chips, Olives, Brie and Smoked Gouda cheeses with pears and grapes, and Pate with Pickles. The two cakes were also a hit. We sent half of the leftover chocolate cake home with Rick and Natalie. The carrot cake is in the refrigerator ready for breakfast, if anyone wants it!

The house was picked up, the dishes rinsed in the dishwasher when William and Kimberly joined us in the living room for a nice chat until midnight.

Clearly, it was a Happy Birthday for Michael.

Today? Why, heading to Dynamo Donuts, of course. Also hoping for sunshine. Please.
