Happy Roaring Birthday, Liz!

This year for her birthday, Liz threw another memorable feast to celebrate! That's right -- Liz loves cooking so much that the last couple years she prepares these over-the-top delicious dinners for a small group of friends at her and Eric's home. Last year was Indian food. This year, a 1920's themed parlor game night. Roast pork, hot raspberry sauce, mashed potatoes, perfect green beans with toasted almonds, rolls, salad with walnuts and vinagrette dressing. Two desserts -- peanut-salty fudge brownies and apple crisp. Mmmmm....

Or hosts, Eric & Liz

The group -- enthusiastically costumed accordingly...perfect 1920's speak-easy jazz in the background. These are Liz and Eric's closest friends but Brad and I only see these people about once a year when Liz throws her birthday celebration -- so it is always fun to get some time with a group of people we enjoy quite a bit but don't have a chance to see in other situations.
