Okay, so it's official. My B is the coolest boyfriend ever. And last night's birthday celebration was one of the most fun I've had a party I've hosted ever. B was so cute. This morning, he said, I wanted to make sure you and your family knew I was a great catch." Hehe. And that you can't really find any guy better than him. Hehe. True, all, true. Why do you think we've been together for nearly four years? But last night, he proved it to the rest of my family and closest friends. He cooked nearly everything we ate last night. Of course he tricked me into to helping him prepare. (The nerve of asking me to help prepare my own birthday dinner!) I'll admit to you though, that it was kinda cool to help prepare, as much as I grumbled through it. Appetizers consisted of homecooked shrimp toast and spring roll -- better than you'd get at a restaurant, I swear! Mom made grilled shrimp whose "skewers" where thin sliced stalks of sugar cane. Soooo yummy.
Then came dinner. We had Pad Thai (Thai noodles), mixed vegetables in coconut milk, and roast duck. Double yum! Everyone was so impressed, and B got quite a number of requests for furure parties! The fun part though was the games. Yes, I am a dork. I swear I get a lot done riding the subway. I devised it all on the train. I organized a game of charades and a "pre-easter egg hunt." O knew some of my younger relatives would be coming and they always get bored at these gatherings coz all we do is eat, talk and watch TV. I wanted them to have fun, and the adults could join in as well. I thought I would have a harder time convincing them to play charades and easy to send them on an egghunt knowing some of the plastic eggs had money and other goodies from the dollar store I recently discovered next to the school where I student taught. Anyways, it was a GREAT night. I'm getting lazy giving more details. Heh.
