Ta Ta to my Friends

Last night’s party I believe was a success. I had a pretty good turn out—a good representation of the friends that I’ve made over the last eight years here.

I’m also mostly not hung over. You may wonder what exactly that means. Well, I haven’t had a headache, but just an upset stomach. That means I won’t be eating until this evening, but there are a lot of tasty leftovers.

On the menu: (Directly from the Chef himself) :)
Ahi tuna tartar on olive oil and parsley croustade
Whiskey smoked salmon tostado with ginger creme fraiche and wasabi tobiko
Wild mushroom tartlette with goat cheese and truffle essence
Proscuitto wrapped melon with purple basil and balsamic reduction
Peach and brie in silver spoon with sherry honey gastrique
Open faced pork tenderloin sandwich with garlic aioli, roasted sweet peppers and caramelized onion
Ecuadorian brown shrimp ceviche with avocado and fried plantain chips.
Fruit and Cheese displays
Not to mention Jelly Bellys

Thank you to the Chef for preparing ALL of the food and doing a lot cleaning before and after.

Also, thank you to those of you who came over and those who brought gifts. Lord knows I need a good sippy cup!

I’m contemplating cleaning the house, again. That’s the good thing about parties—motivation to clean and organize. The bad thing is that you have to clean the next day again after the party’s over.
This coming Friday is my last day at work. So, another happy hour is entirely in order. I hope that I don’t get too wild or too drunk, I know that it can be difficult to stop the drinks from flowing when people are buying them for you.
