Birthday party
Had an amazing evening last night.
Rachel made pork chops with bacon and ham shavings, some ungodly good potatoes with apples, and salmon tartare cornets.
Oh, yeah. . . those salmon tartare cornets.
And then she gave me the French Laundry cook book. She was piling it on. I nearly proposed, but we had to clean the table off so that a million people could come over to celebrate my birthday and/or the holidays.
Heaven Hill Bourbon was brought by Padgett Powell, who drank ice water and liquor-less nog. Rachel played happy birthday on ukulele. David Leavitt put too many candles into my birthday cake. I received a fantastic hand-made card. We nearly got drunk on cake. There was slight making out in the hallway.
And I broke Rachel's plate.
