Oh, TOOOOOMMM!

When is your big birthday/christmas bash happening? We need to get the RV trip planned. Then there's something about a big barbeque at our place beforehand, but I think afterward would be better. I don't know... Who's going to do my Christmas shopping? :cry: :cry: I'm drivin' the bus! HELP!

I can bring a side dish to the BBQ, Tsu. Maybe some german potato salad. Just in case not everybody wants broccoli.
 
I'll bring desert! I make a dense flourless dark choclate torte with dark chocolate ganache that is to die for.

the torte sounds to die for! what is ganache? is it a icing/sauce?
 
Ooooooohhhhhh, yummmmmy! Steak and cake, that's my idea of a good meal! :biggrin:

I'll already be in NJ for Christmas and had a shopping trip to NYC planned too, so I can easily swing by for the big birthday bash. Woo hoo!
 
oooweee! That torte looked good! Just about jumped through the monitor screen to get at it!
 
This is starting to look pretty yummy! :biggrin: We'll just bring everyone back from Tom's party in NY and finish the year out with a giant PF barbeque! You'll have to find your own way home tho! It's only a rented bus! :biggrin: Check out my new thread about signing up for the trip!

TOM! What should we wear to your party? We don't want to show up slinky if it's a funky party! :smile:

Whatever it is, it will give me an excuse to buy some clothes while in the city!

I thought we had decided to go formal? MIH was going to lend us some of her Barbie gowns.

And being the resident college student, i'll bring the booze. Hard booze, not any of that keg beer crap either.
