I am behind in my scheduled blog posts because I am hiding something from my husband. I am throwing for him a surprise birthday picnic party! =) What he knows is that my filipina friends and I are having a picnic this Saturday. I suspect that he suspects that its for him but aside from that he’s clueless with the details. I am excited and nervous to find out if I could pull this off, excited to bake his birthday cake, make the decors, try/cook new recipes (the only food I am buying are assorted cookies and possibly bread). As you can see I went shopping this morning, more shopping to come. Cooking starts on Thursday. I have frozen Lumpia already. Did I mention that I am really excited about the cake?
I have already reserved picnic tables already at the lakefront. I have hired a babysitter for Evan. Lassoed a filipina friend in helping help me out. I have compiled all the recipes. This is going to be fun. Nervewracking, exhausting but fun.
goodluck! i’m sure it’s going to turn out the way you planned it.
MC, there were a few things I wish I could have done differently but that’s how we learn and improve =)
