Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
I am proud of you for hitting the water goals. You rocked it girl! And here's the broken record part of my post: The food, as always, was amazing! I saw an ad yesterday for that PSY (Gangnam Style) guy. He's looking for a chef for 1 month and is paying $40K but I haven't told you about it because I don't want to go a month without you and your cooking. (hmm, I guess I did just tell you but pretend you never heard that).
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks hon! Don't worry, while $40K would be nice there's no way I'm leaving you for a month!
DeleteFood here was less than inspired - again. Little guy has a soccer game tomorrow morning, but otherwise the weekend is wide open. I'm going to try to fill it with some fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great time filling up the weekend!
DeleteI have a conference tomorrow morning that I'm looking forward to, and then my weekend is wide open, just the way I like it. I've had a bit of a cold all week, so I'm looking forward to getting a bit of rest. One of my favorite dinners tonight was caribbean jerk chicken in the crock pot...the hubs was so happy with it he ate two huge sandwiches of it! Since the man is a stick, it always makes me happy when he really induldges in a meal. I have a wonderful salsa recipe that I'm going to try this weekend too.
ReplyDeleteI prefer reheated lasagna, but I do like fresh. I don't like spaghetti fresh, though. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy because I'll make spaghetti, mix it up in a big bowl, put it in the fridge, and then reheat it for dinner later. :) It seems better that way, maybe because the sauce "sets".
ReplyDeleteLeftover lasagna is awesome! It needs a day in the fridge to let all the flavors meld together. Deliciousness!
