Beautiful flowers from Chris!
On Saturday we threw a little party for Randy's 20th birthday. There was great company, lots of music and dancing and I made a few things to eat. Kidding. I made a lot of food, which is my passion. I had so much fun. We had a baked potato bar. I learned years ago to bake potatoes until almost done and then put them in a cooler - yep a cooler, without ice. Close the lid and voila, hot potatoes throughout the night! I made a big batch of chili, steamed broccoli, chopped green onions, salsa, sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese for a selection of toppings. Sliced some watermelon and fresh pineapple.
Washed a big box of strawberries and served them with sour cream and brown sugar - Rand's favorite way to eat strawberries. We had lots of bottles of water, some soda and a lime sherbert punch. Instead of a cake I decided to create some cupcakes, making this so much easier to serve. I went a little crazy and had my own version of "Cupcake Wars" with myself! I will post recipes soon but here is a look at the cupcakes.....
