Celebrating my 10,957th day on earth!!!

Yup... that's right... I'm back from Latin America for all of a month to enjoy the rain and snow (ie I'm in Vancouver) and I'm... I'm turning the big 30...

-pause for shock... she can't be THAT old... she looks so young...-

So to commemorate my big day, I'm going to make an attempt to recreate the best meal of my life that happened about 10 years ago in Rochefort on the Coast of France.....

-pause for intrigue-

Which involved eating, drinking and talking for about 14 hours.....

- pause for remembering how I often have wacky ideas -

The plan is to meet up on Jan 26th (that's this friday) at about 7 pm and eat, drink and be merry until nine in the morning (Jan 27th... my actual birthday)....

- pause for thoughts of the best food you've ever eaten -

So I was thinking like a kind of Pot luck where people bring their favourite food and/or a bottle of wine and we bring out a different dish every hour of the night...

- pause for thinking about what you might bring....-

fondue? okonomiaki? spaetzle? fois gras? bibimbap? vindaloo? spotted dick? perogies? gyoza/zhaozhe? bangers and mash? pavlova? yakisoba? balut? calzone? bulgogie? chilaciles? balti?

- pause to realize that the list is endless and remember how I am a bad speller in every language... not just English -

So I don't want any presents... just your PRESENCE...

....and your food...

and to help me welcome my 30th year in at midnight.

Sooooo.... If you're coming, send me an email by Wed night and I'll send you the address.
