When our sweet friend, Stephanie, asked Eric and I to join her Cookbookery Club back in December, we were thrilled. The premise – choose a cookbook and allow everyone to prepare a dish, then get together and chow down.
That sounds perfect for us! Of course we would love to join!
I am Super Bowl obsessed. We are throwing a small party at the house and I can’t wait to have everyone there, hollering at the television and eating and drinking inordinate amounts of food and beer. And cocktails.
Time to start thinking about the decor. Hmmm…what to do?
Secrets are the most fun. Well, when they are happy secrets. Like birthday surprises, raindrops on roses and brown paper packages tied up with string. Some of my favorite things!
Me: “Honey, we should invite Rick & Denise over on Monday for the Chinese New Year. We can drink the sake they brought us in the gorgeous sake set they gifted us with and I can make pad thai.”
Eric: Crickets – then laughter. “Honey, sake is Japanese and pad thai, is, well, Thai.”
Me: “Um…”
I really should get out more.
Thank goodness for my friend Sofia, in NYC. She knows how to celebrate Chinese New Year. She sent me wonderful recipes for the most fun cocktails for your Chinese New Year.
I just got this notice from my sweet friend Marsha and cannot wait to go! Usually I am very lazy about reading press releases (okay, about everything…)but this totally caught my eye.
Oysters. Beer. The Four Seasons, y’all. If you wear a collar and don’t show up in flip flops, I bet they will serve you.
I’m going. Eric does not share my love of oysters. Who’s going with me?
