I had my belated birthday celebration last night at my apartment. I slaved away for a good 4.75 hours making 3 dishes :P I made mini pizzas topped with pizza sauce, Gorgonzola cheese crumbs, a half of a cherry tomato, oregano, and EVOO. I also made these sticky sandwhiches, which I will go heat up as son as I'm done with this post, from a recipe I got from one of Haiasi's friends. You pretty much just get some french rolls, insert lotsa ham and swiss cheese, stick it in a pan and drizzle this yummmmmy buttery sweet yet tangy mixture over all the sandwhiches, and then you bake them. They came out soo delish and the smell could be smelled on at least my floor and the stairwell. The last thing I made was yummy cupcakes from scratch. I found a recipe called pink lady cake. It had pureed strawberries in them. I think next time I'll kick it up a notch and add another ingrediant to make it sweeter. Note to self though, BUY A HAND MIXER.
I cleaned the apartment, Haiasi vaccuumed, and after me and Colin were slaving away in our kitchen, we set all the food down on my little Japanese tables and waited for people to arrive. A good chunk of people showed up (kinda wearing pink :P) with lots of other food (spring rolls, chicken, spanish salad, dessert, and uncooked rice :P) so we pretty much pigged out the entire night and drank to our heart's content. I had half a bottle of my moscato d'asti to myself and felt good after about 2 cups worth. It was soooo good :) And I didn't get raging drunk so YAY! for me.
We ended the night playing The Simpson's Clue, watching Ali G shows, and explaining how to play Left 4 Dead. It was a great belated birthday for me and I enjoyed a bunch :) Next time when everyone is actually 21 we shall go out to a nice place or go bowling :D
Ooooh, I also thought I gained a bunch of weight from Thanksgiving AND my birthday last night, but surprisingly I lost 3 lbs. during the holiday break and maintained it last night. I am so surprised, but enjoying the fact that maybe I am actually doing something right for once with my health. Hopefully that lasts throughout my time in Hawaii XD
Mata ne! I'll post pics once I get off Left 4 Dead :D
