My wife arranged a very special surprise birthday party for me yesterday. I’ll confess I had been hoping for a “surprise” party, but thought it would happen in a few weeks, closer to May 22nd. My wife had me totally convinced we were going to a regular 5 de Mayo backyard gathering, and I walked in to a garden filled with family and friends with my mouth agape. Lots of good conversation, a salsa band, and some amazing vegan Mexican food. Let me sing the praises of the caterer, and recommend Alex to any Los Angeles area folks looking for a pro who can deliver a wide variety of cuisines (he doesn’t limit himself to vegan.) The soy chorizo was pretty swell, and I managed to stumble through a cumbia with my wife without stepping on her feet or pulling any muscles in my ageing body.
And my amazing spouse capped it off with a huge (vegan) chocolate cake, complete with a picture of Matilde, our first chin, beautifully drawn in icing.
Here’s a picture at Flickr.
‘Twas a very happy day.
