Last weekend we celebrated my wife’s 25th Birthday. Her mother and I really wanted it to be one for the books, so along with friends and family we organized a pretty sweet birthday brunch if I do say so myself. The venue was provided by Aunt Christine who also made fruit yogurt parfaits and french toast muffins drizzled with warm maple syrup. Are you hungry yet? I’m just getting started. Aunty Steph made salmon bagel bites that were pretty much addicting. Chariane’s mom made chicken salad croissants, assorted quiches, and helped put together breakfast skewers made up of blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and doughnut holes. I know what you’re thinking, “Matt you’re a real piece of work just letting everyone else do all the work.” Well believe it or not, one of things that I really love to do is cook. That’s right, when I’m not filming moving picture shows or slaying dragons, you might find me cooking. So before I started taking pictures of everything and everyone, I made some turkey bacon- wrapped eggs with dill and basil that weren’t too shabby. Oh, and I made the birthday cake out of pancakes. Even though it may or may not had been half eaten when it came time to blow out the candles, it was pretty awesome. I accidentally put it on the buffet table before we sang happy birthday. Woops. LOL.
I think you’ll also love the wine bottle centerpieces with flowers and rose petals scattered over the table. Home made jam in small mason jars for party favors, are you kiddding?! - Delicious right? Yeah it happened. Chariane’s mom made homemade jam that I’ve been enjoying basically everyday since the party. One friend came up to me and said, “wow, this brunch is like a wedding.” Well, that’s our family for you...
Have a great weekend!
Matt
