Well of course the thing about a party is that there is a lot of delicious food. Also, there is no 'set' meal time, people are constantly grazing. This can be a problem for people watching their intake and never more so than the host is also one of the KITCHEN HELP. So there's a good bit of tasting, noshing, ripping and such. So really, the whole thing's a blur, and there's a slice of ice cream cake on top of it all. But how many times will my daughter be one? Just once. How many times will she sleep through the incantation of happy birthday? Possibly several. But all in all, it was a good day.
Breakfast
2 Slices of Zabar's Multi-Grain Bread
Peanut Butter
Tea
Snack
Cheese Stick
Lunch-Dinner-Party
Cheeses of many varieties
Olives
Spicy Pickles
Peppadews
~8 Meatballs
1 Piece Flanken
2 Chicken Breasts
Cabbage Salad
Slice of Birthday Cake (with a sliver of Snickers bar on top).
When you think about all the above as TWO meals, it probably isn't so bad. But it did seem at the time like an endless parade of food. However, as Emily's sister said in the beginning of the day "It's a SoBe friendly birthday spread." And why shouldn't it be? We did have crackers and cake, for the non-participants. The rest of us were able to nosh in SoBe safety.
