Happy Birthday!

Yesterday I went to a birthday party for my friend's daughter. She turned two and loves Elmo. Yes there was Elmo everywhere. I walked in and was stuffed rotten before I really had a chance to sit down. There was an entire table full of food. I ate chicken kabob, pasticcio, spanakopita, salad, cake and cookies. Mmm. The hosts were even kind enough to send me home with three plates of leftovers so tonight I was essentially able to recreate last night's meal. Note: one plate was just cookies and baklava. It is an interesting home to be in because you can hear Greek, Hindi, Russian, and English being spoken simultaneously. Sometimes I feel like I've been dropped into a bad ethnic joke where the punch line is "they eat a lot of tasty food". This was a great way to end a not so good week.
